Bourbon fined for Dolphin tragedy
Shipowner Bourbon Offshore Norway - the Norwegian unit of France's Bourbon Offshore - has been fined Nkr5 million ($727,000) for the capsize of the the anchor handling vessel Bourbon Dolphin - with the loss of eight lives - in 2007, according to Norwegian media.
Local broadcaster TV2 said the fine was imposed after an investigation carried out by Sunnmore police, adding that the decision to fine Bourbon came from the country's chief prosecutor Bjorn Soknes.
The investigation found that Bourbon did not give the ship's captain, Oddne Arve Remoy, enough time to become familiar with the vessel, its crew or its mission. The report said Remoy had just half-an-hour to acquaint himself with the job.
At the time of the incident, on 12 April 2007, the Bourbon Dolphin was working at the Rosebank field, 157 kilometres north-west of Shetland.
Remoy, his 14-year-old son and six crew died when the ship sank.
The fine - which is a "corporate punishment - is not linked to the accident itself, TV2 said.
