Four former Bourbon platform supply vessels have finally been sold at auction in China following a series of price reductions this year.

The successful sale on the Guangzhou Shipping Exchange is thought to be the sixth time that Chinese lender ICBC Financial Leasing had put the PSVs up for grabs.

The four laid-up ships are the 1,500-dwt Bourbon Liberty 101, Bourbon Liberty 106, Bourbon Liberty 107 and Bourbon Liberty 109 (all built 2008).
