Comments	One of these ships is assigned to the Bourbon Offshore Maritima Fleet There is much that could be said about this concept, not least the confidence the company must have in the design. They are not even conventional in construction. they will all have three propellers, one in the middle which is fixed, probably, and one on each side which are azimuthing. This configuration according to the publicity will provide a greater level of reliability, and in the text of the supplement various ship-masters testify to the ease with which the ships can be handled. This may be just as well, since one has difficulty imagining how they will manage to place skilled staff on each of these ships as they enter service (extract from news and views).
