Bourbon Offshore outstrips 5-year plan; newest vessel sports unique bow design

摘要

The French marine logistics company Bourbon is growing almost geometrically. By year-end 2006, Bourbon will have met the goals set out in its most recent five-year (2003-2007) global growth plan, but taking only four years to do so, thanks to mostly internal financing totaling $1.52 billion raised from assets disposal and operational cash flow. And while the Paris-based company averaged 15% annual growth of turnover during 2003-2006, the Offshore Division led the way with more than 25% average growth of turnover per annum.
