The project scope covers the full logistics solution project management, offering for the first time both Marine logistics together with shore logistics: marine services, logistics base, warehousing, port facilities, cargo carrying units, waste management, customs clearance, etc.
Bourbon Marine & Logistics will jointly perform the services with its partner Bon Marine and will operate from Varna (Bulgaria). Working with a strong local partner is fully part of Bourbon Marine & Logistics local content strategy. Two large supply vessels will be dedicated to the project and as well as the latest digital data management tools.
Bourbon Marine & Logistics proposal for an integrated end-to-end solution is in line with Shell’s willingness to pilot a light-footprint strategy in exploration operations with more risk-sharing with its subcontractors.
The drilling operation is scheduled to start early April and should last about 3 to 4 months.
