Marseilles, September 27, 2019

Update on the research operations of the Bourbon Rhode

Coordinated by the Regional Operational Center of Surveillance and Rescue (Cross) of West Indies-Guyana, the search for the tug supply Bourbon Rhode is still under way as a general cargo ship has arrived on zone. Weather conditions remain particularly adverse and the search zone is affected by the outer edge of Hurricane Lorenzo. Other maritime means are being mobilized in order to provide assistance to the crew, as well as air support from NHC (National Hurricane Center).

The crisis cell is working in very close cooperation with the Cross. BOURBON’s teams are mobilized to keep the families of the crew members informed and bring them full support in this difficult time.  

An update on the situation will be published soon.
