SEAS, PIRIOU’s Vietnam-based shipyard has just delivered the fourth 53m FPSV (Fast Passenger & Supply vessel) of an order for 4 units to BOURBON, the “BOURBON NORTE”.
The first unit, the “BOURBON SIROCCO” was delivered in October 2012, followed by the “BOURBON SHAMAL” in January 2013 and the “BOURBON HARMATTAN” in March 2013.
With more than 100 crew-boats built since 1995 in France, Nigeria and Vietnam, PIRIOU has become one of the world’s leading aluminium crew boat builders.
Pascal PIRIOU states: “After 9 months of operation, our 53m FPSV prototype has lived up to its ambitions. It is economical both in terms of purchase and operating costs, ergonomic and has a remarkable, attractive design. The vessel is therefore a success, and we intend to capitalise on it in the very near future with new orders and with smaller versions, starting in particular with a 40m model”.
