Posted on February 22, 2023

Bourbon and Horizon Maritime announces a new joint venture, Bourbon Horizon AS, dedicated to providing leading marine services and operations, focusing on the North Sea and Canadian offshore markets.

Incorporated in Norway, the new company is strategically positioned in Fosnavåg (Norway) and St. John’s (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), with a base fleet of seven modern and capable offshore support vessels: five PSV’s, a large AHTS with WROV and a MPSV currently configured for Subsea and trenching services.

Cliff Gaetz as Managing Director of Bourbon Horizon AS will be supported by Bjørn Remøy and senior Operational leads, Ståle Kyrkjedelen and Colin Doody.

The partnership builds on natural synergies and shared values between the two shipowners, Bourbon and Horizon Maritime. With extensive experience in the harshest offshore environments, Bourbon Horizon AS will also offer comprehensive ship management services to other shipowners in the industry. With more than 200 dedicated and experienced employees, including a deep pool of experienced seafarers from all over the world, Bourbon Horizon is well- equipped for any project.

Rodolphe Bouchet, Bourbon Marine & Logistics CEO: “Entering this strategic partnership with Horizon Maritime represents a tremendous opportunity to strengthen our current position in the North Sea markets. The Bourbon Horizon AS JV will also support the consolidation of the OSV sector in harsh environments, while achieving substantial economies of scale, to allow the creation of a diversified and particularly competitive offering.”

Cliff Gaetz, Bourbon Horizon MD: ”Horizon is pleased to partner with Bourbon Marine & Logistics, a global leader in the offshore service market and I’m excited to join my colleagues in this joint venture.
