Cup of Cheer for Bourbon

21 years ago

Maritime services provider Groupe Bourbon has posted a turnover increase of 13.9% in marine services for the first quarter of this year. The sector has been boosted by an expansion of offshore activity and the continuation of record rates in the bulk transport trade. The towage and salvage business grew by 5.4%, a figure expected to grow in the second quarter as the newbuild Abeille Bourbon enters into service.

Partrac, supported by the economic development agency Scottish Enterprise, has signed a breakthrough contract with the South Florida Water Management District to study sediment movements in the Everglades. This follows on from a successful venture studying beach erosion for the US Army Core of Engineers, who are responsible for protecting the American coastline.
