BOURBON ORCA – ULSTEIN X-BOW® hull design advantages as compared to conventional foreship with fl are:

. • No bow fl are, eliminating bow impact and / or slamming in foreship
. • Reduced noise and vibration levels in foreship due to soft entries in waves
. • Less spray due to water not being thrown forward
. • Negligible occurrences of green water on bridge deck
. • Working deck and deck equipment better protected due to hull extended to full beam in accommodation area
. • Higher transit speed in head sea, giving reduced power consumption and / or higher fuel effi ciency both in waves and in still water
. • Lower pitch and heave accelerations due to foreship volume distribution and slender hull lines.
BOURBON ORCA is designed and arranged for heavy duty offshore operations like:
. • Handling of anchors and rig mooring lines in deep water
. • Anchor handling and towing winches with large capacity, especially for dynamic braking
. • ODIM Safe Anchor Handling System (SAHS) for work deck
