Bordelon Marine Completes Conversion and Delivery of MV Lilly Bordelon Vessel

Bordelon Marine has successfully completed the conversion and redelivery of the MV Lilly Bordelon, a Stingray Series 260 Class DP-2 Ultra-Light Intervention Vessel. This modern subsea intervention vessel has been repurposed from an existing platform to provide cost-efficient and flexible solutions for offshore operations.

The MV Lilly Bordelon boasts over 5,500 square feet of clear deck space and features a mezzanine deck that supports two work-class ROVs, along with an integrated ROV control room. It is equipped with a 60-ton active heave-compensated crane and a 17-meter USCG/ABS-certified helideck, making it suitable for a variety of subsea inspection, maintenance, repair, and light construction tasks.

Wes Bordelon, President and CEO, expressed pride in adding the MV Lilly Bordelon to their fleet, emphasizing its role in enhancing the company's ability to deliver high-capability, cost-effective subsea solutions to clients. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.

Editor's Note

The delivery of the MV Lilly Bordelon marks a significant advancement in subsea intervention capabilities for Bordelon Marine. As the demand for efficient offshore operations continues to rise, the vessel's design and features position it well within the competitive landscape of subsea services. Stakeholders should monitor how this addition impacts Bordelon Marine's market position and service offerings.
