French offshore vessel operator Bourbon has secured a long-term offshore services contract with Prime Energy Resources to support offshore operations in the Philippines.

The agreement will be delivered in cooperation with Malaysian offshore support vessel company Bahtera Sri Kandi. The contract covers a firm three-year period, with an option to extend the work for two additional years.

Operations are scheduled to start in August 2026 with the deployment of the anchor handling vessel Bourbon Liberty 237, which will be operated and managed by Bourbon.

As part of the contract, Bourbon Liberty 237 will undergo a conversion program to carry methanol for offshore operations.

The modification scope includes tank conversion, dedicated pumping systems, a nitrogen inert gas system, adapted pipelines and protective coatings.

The vessel will support Prime Energy Resources’ Shallow Water Platform through condensate tanker lifting support, static towing and AHTS operations. It will also supply methanol to the platform.
