Restructured French offshore support vessel (OSV) group Bourbon has welcomed four experienced new directors to help it navigate a course through the coronavirus crisis.

The company was taken over by a group of lenders represented by Societe Phoceenne de Participations (SPP) in January, ending Jacques de Chateauvieux's ownership.

It has now strengthened its supervisory board, which is chaired by former French banking executive Jean Peyrelevade.
