Bourbon to Install Beier Radio DP systems

Beier Radio Vice President and General Manager C. Joseph Mouton Jr. announced that Beier Radio has signed a contract with Bourbon Offshore to deliver 36 DP-2 systems for their vessels to be built in China.

“Bourbon Offshore has made a major commitment to become the leader as a modern offshore support provider,” Mouton said. “They have invested resources in people and technology to build the next-generation offshore vessels, and our systems will help them continue to provide that world-class support.”

This BOURBON contract is part of their plan to expand their fleet with innovative and high-productivity vessels. It calls for the installation of the Beier IVCS 2000, an integrated vessel control system (ABS DP-2) and the Beier IVMS 2000, an integrated vessel management system, on 26 AHTS with 80 tons of bollard pull, and on ten economical PSVs of 1600 tons of deadweight.

“We are very proud that Bourbon Offshore has chosen Beier Radio to install our dynamic positioning and management systems,” Mouton said. “This contract shows the continued respect that our systems have with the marine industry and allows us to share BOURBON’S vision for the development of their offshore operations.”

Bourbon Offshore is present in 23 countries with 2,500 employees, and has a modern fleet of 190 multi-purpose vessels, with more than 90 additional vessels on order or under construction.

Beier Radio, established in 1945, supplies electronic systems to the marine industry for navigation, vessel control and maneuvering, equipment monitoring, communications and steering control.
