BOURBON announces that it has been awarded a new fully integrated logistics contract by an Oil & Gas major operator to support its exploration campaign and the drilling of its first well in the waters of southern Namibia.

This campaign, estimated to last about 6 months, marks a significant step forward in the client’s strategy, particularly in terms logistics strategy with the first integrated logistics contract.

For Bourbon Logistics, it is the continuation of the successes already achieved in Namibia with the previous contracts signed with other Oil & Gas Majors.

The contract’s scope covers the complete supply chain of the project:

  • Freight forwarding: International shipment and customs clearance of the equipment required for the drilling campaign, from Houston, Singapore and Antwerp, all the way to Walvis Bay, Namibia.
  • Logistics base services: Management of the base and associated services (handling and lifting, equipment management, storage and warehousing, waste management, tank cleaning, etc.).
  • Marine services: Provision of three Platform Supply Vessels, the Bourbon Diamond, Ruby and Topaz, dedicated to the project.

BOURBON will be in charge of the entire logistics operations’ planning and conduct. The operations will be supported by its data management system, “Bourbon Logistics Suite” software, which enables all logistics operations to be planned, executed and controlled from end to end.

The 7-hectare logistics base is located in Walvis Bay and will employ almost 50 shore-based staff, 96% of whom are Namibians, who will benefit from specialized training, particularly in materials handling.

Nicolas Chateau, Managing Director of Bourbon Logistics, comments: “Bourbon Logistics is mobilized to bring exemplary management of the client’s supply chain, with strict adherence to deadlines and constant attention to the highest safety standards.

This new contract confirms Bourbon Logistics’ expertise and recognition by major O&G operators to bring increasingly comprehensive services to its clients, in their most ambitious projects”.
