Bourbon has completed its financial and capital restructuring with Davidson Kempner and Fortress becoming majority shareholders.
The company said the transaction follows court approval in July 2025 and opens a new phase of development with a streamlined organisation and simplified governance.
It added that Gaël Bodénès has been appointed chief executive officer to lead the transformation plan until mid-2026.
Bourbon stated that its strengthened financial position will support fleet investments, including OSV reactivations, life-extension programmes and crewboat renewal.
An executive committee has been appointed and a new board named to guide long-term strategy.
“Bourbon now benefits from a solid financial structure, a versatile fleet and a clear positioning in the offshore markets,” said Bruno Chabas, chairman of the board.
“I am very proud of the progress accomplished by Bourbon’s teams during this challenging transformation period,” added Bodénès, noting restored stability and renewed momentum.
The company said the offshore marine services market is benefiting from rising demand and the energy transition, with strong prospects across West Africa, Guyana–Suriname, the Middle East and Asia.
