Bourbon Offshore Norway Chooses C-MAP
The offshore Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessel Bourbon Orca, which recently won the 'Ship of the Year 2006' award, is just one of the vessels in the Bourbon Offshore Norway's fleet which will be equipped with C-MAP's navigational solutions. C-MAP will provide Bourbon Offshore with C-MAP ProfessionalPlus electronic vector charts and official ENC, which are a part of the C-MAP product portfolio and C-MAP WeatherView, version 2.0. The chart solutions will be especially helpful for the company's vessels operating in extreme weather conditions. Combining the electronic charts and weather overlay is very useful for the company, particularly in the North Sea where weather can play an important role and determine whether an operation will be successful. For the Bourbon Orca, the WeatherView system will help the crew on board define operational weather windows based on their own criteria, which they can enter into the system.
