Bourbon

4 key factors for success:
4. Cost control

The principle of building innovative vessels in series in countries with competitive costs, like China, leads to lower costs overall, i.e.:

• a reduction of 15 to 30% in construction costs, while complying with quality and safety standards through an original cooperative effort among naval architects, equipment vendors, experienced shipyards and BOURBON to share expertise;
• standardization of training in order to guarantee an equivalent level around the world: crew training on simulators, harmonization of skills, enhanced expertise through the sharing of best practices;
• lower maintenance and service costs: industrialization of maintenance services, reduced parts inventories, optimized response times, easy replacement during technical shutdowns, and more.
