With an ambition to serve offshore wind farms from 250MW to 1GW by 2030, French marine services company Bourbon has launched a dedicated offshore wind business, Bourbon Wind. Building on more than ten years experience installing floating wind farm prototypes in Europe, it hopes Bourbon Wind will become a major player in the entire offshore wind value chain: pre-studies, transport and installation services, field maintenance, floaters repair and personnel transport.
Bourbon Wind will have three main divisions – Bourbon Subsea Services for development studies, turnkey construction contract tenders (EPCI) and subsea inspection services (ROV); Bourbon Mobility for personnel transportation tenders; and Bourbon Marine & Logistics for ship management, maintenance services (SOV) and logistics base management.
Bourbon Wind CEO Patrick Belenfant and his team initiated the first floating wind turbine installation off the coast of Portugal in 2011, according to the company.
