Lockport, La.-based Bordelon Marine has completed the conversion and redelivery of the MV Lilly Bordelon, a Stingray Series 260 Class DP-2 Ultra-Light Intervention Vessel (ULIV).

“We are proud to welcome the M/V Lilly Bordelon into the fleet,” said Bordelon Marine President and CEO Wes Bordelon. “This vessel enhances our ability to deliver high-capability, cost-effective subsea solutions to our clients.”

Rebuilt at Bordelon Marine Shipbuilders from an existing platform, the Lilly Bordelon has been transformed into a modern subsea intervention vessel designed to deliver cost-efficient, flexible solutions for offshore operations. The vessel features over 5,500 square feet of clear deck space, a mezzanine deck supporting two work-class ROVs, with an integrated ROV control room.

Equipped with a 60-ton active heave-compensated crane with over 3,000 meters of wire and a 17-meter USCG/ABS-certified helideck, the vessel is suited for a wide range of subsea inspection, maintenance, repair, and light construction activities.
