Cargotec to Supply AHTS Equipment to Bourbon

Cargotec will supply four sets of MacGregor anchor-handling systems to equip Bourbon’s anchor-handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels.

The offshore services company said the systems use technologies specifically developed for Bourbon’s Liberty 200 series AHTS vessels.

It said the equipment is intended to meet Bourbon’s operational requirements in continental offshore markets and deepwater offshore fields.

The systems are based on an SPA80 design and feature anchor handling/towing winches with full dynamic braking.

Cargotec said the equipment is scheduled to be delivered during the second quarter of 2011.
