Assistance, salvage and pollution remediation
BOURBON provides coastal protection for France through Les Abeilles assistance and salvage tugs and 3 services vessels.
Since 1976, these vessels have overseen the protection of the 3,120 km of exposed French coastline. They provide prevention and protection for the marine environment.
Their missions are to prevent wrecks, assist and save vessels in distress, and combat pollution.
Les Abeilles is a member of the International Salvage Union (ISU) which is the umbrella body for salvage and marine support companies. The members of the ISU are duty-bound to possess this high level of expertise required of salvage professionals
Among the operations it is responsible for are recovering containers, laying buoys, and assessing pollution, all of which contribute to greater safety.
BOURBON’s skills and expertise in assistance, salvage, and anti-pollution operations are widely recognized in France and worldwide.
