The French services company said its 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.

Two large supply vessels will be dedicated to the project, as well as the latest digital data management tools, it said.

Bourbon will jointly perform the services with Bulgarian operator Bon Marine and will operate from Varna, Bulgaria, as part of its local content strategy.
