In early February Ulstein held a cere- mony for the naming of Bourbon Topaz, a new PSV for Bourbon Offshore

Norway, and a significant event in that it was the first time Ulstein Verft AS deliv- ered a vessel to Bourbon Offshore

Norway. Bourbon Topaz" will be offi- cially delivered to the shipowners

Bourbon Offshore Norway in February., has previously expressed his great expectations for the vessel, which he believes will secure Bourbon good jobs. "The vessel is a pure platform supply vessel and can operate in this market around the world, though I believe that yard number 267 from Ulstein Verft will probably start its career in the North

Sea," said Jostein Sætrenes, Bourbon

Offshore Norway's managing director. "The construction has been good and professional. We have great expecta- tions with respect to the design, but it remains to be seen how the vessel func- tions in sea trials and in ordinary opera- tions," he continued. Bourbon Offshore

Norway is a growing shipowner. The company is owned by Groupe Bourbon, who has expressed an ambition to be world leaders within the offshore seg- ment. The company took over an older offshore/supply fleet through the acqui- sition of Havila Supply in 2003. Many of the older vessels have now been sold, while at the same time the company has contracted new ones. The average age of their vessels is six years. The company is French owned, but is locally anchored in Herøy, Norway. "Bourbon Topaz" will be the ninth platform supply vessel (PSV) in the fleet. Sætrenes says that it means a lot to the company that they are able to participate in, develop and strengthen the maritime cluster in the region of Sunnmøre at the west coast of

Norway. The effect of this has been, among other things, a second contract with Ulstein Verft: three months after the vessel is delivered the shipyard will begin work on constructing and equip- ping a new ULSTEIN P105 for the com- pany, the tenth PSV in a row.
