Bourbon AHTS is first vessel drydocked by Damen Shiprepair Brest

Two weeks after its acquisition by Damen Shipyards, the former Sobrena shipyard in Brest, France, (now Damen Shiprepair Brest) has booked its first order.

Bourbon Offshore Surf’s Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel Alcyon is in the shipyard for its 30 years survey, including all normal items, a complete external paint program, repairs of tank coatings and major steel renewal in fore peak area.

Damen Shiprepair Brest is a well-established repair yard with modern facilities. It has three graving dry docks and a number of repair berths. The largest dry dock is, at 420 m x 80 m, one of the biggest in Europe, allowing the yard to accommodate almost any ship in the world.

The shipyard offers a broad range of services for any vessel type, including LNG tankers, oil tankers, semi-submersibles, shuttle tankers, FPSO’s, offshore construction vessels, jack-up rigs, ro-ro vessels and ferries. The highly skilled workforce is particularly well-known for its LNG tanker expertise.
