An international rescue mission has been launched to rescue a Bourbon anchor handler that has been lashed by a category four hurricane in the Caribbean.
The Luxembourg-flagged AHTS Bourbon Rhode (built 2006), which currently has 14 crew onboard, is reported to be taking on water.
“ A rescue operation…is under way, as the vessel was in transit at 1,200 nautical miles off Martinique island and 60 nautical miles south-south east from the eye of category 4 hurricane Lorenzo,” Bourbon said in a statement.
