Bourbon Dolphin salvage 'unlikely'

Maritime insurer Gard, which insured Bourbon Offshore Norway's anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel Bourbon Dolphin, said it would not fund any attempt to raise the vessel, saying it was "very unlikely" that salvaging the ship was possible.

The AHTS capsized while working at the Rosebank field, 157 kilometres north-west of Shetland, on 12 April. Three of the 15-strong crew on board the vessel died, while five are missing, presumed drowned. The AHTS sank in water depths of about 1100 metres on 15 April.

"Gard will not cover the costs of raising the Bourbon Dolphin, even if it were technically possible," it said in a statement released today.

However, Gard said it had called in London Offshore Consultants (LOC) to advise it on the possibility of raising the Bourbon Dolphin.

LOC told Gard it was "extremely uncertain" whether it was technically possible to raise the ship, noting that the greatest depth from which any ship had previously been raised was about 600 metres. The report added that the vessel in question was much smaller and lighter than the Bourbon Dolphin.

The report said a salvage bid would be risky for a number of reasons, not least that the AHTS sank in a location prone to extreme weather, with difficult wind, wave and current conditions. The enormous water pressure at 1100 metres adds to the risks of a salvage bid.

The consultancy's report added that "any method that could be attempted would be untried and would require a significant period of time for research, engineering and planning".
