After more than 30 years of cooperation and more than 200 passenger vessels built, the cooperation between Bourbon Mobility and the EFINOR Allais shipyard is back on track. Bourbon Mobility, the world leader in offshore passenger transport, has placed a new order for several vessels with the shipyard in Cherbourg.
This order, which is highly symbolic for both manufacturers, enables them to relaunch a new partnership agreement in terms of both construction and maintenance/MCO.
"As a reference shipyard in the fast passenger ship market, thanks in particular to an innovative design dedicated to crew comfort and with operational feedback from more than 350 units built for various clients, we are proud to renew our relationship with our historic client and thus perpetuate our know-how in the service of the smooth running of offshore sites", says Fabrice LEPOTIER, Chairman of the EFINOR group.
"With more than 2 million people transported each year, we are pleased to be able to continue to offer them speed, safety and comfort through this new partnership with EFINOR Allais. We want to continue to improve the quality of our service to passengers, in accordance with the BOURBON standard", says François LESLÉ, Managing Director of Bourbon Mobility.
