The company said on Friday that the sale of the two large 10-year-old Norwegian built ships, Bourbon Surf and Bourbon Borgstein, generated a total capital gain of about $63 million.
Bourbon plans to continue operating the vessels for between two to five years, with an annual bareboat charter cost of $16.9 million - representing 13% of the transaction value.
The company said the sale continues Bourbon’s aim of standardising its fleet and focusing on modern and fuel-efficient series-built ships.
