Helix 15 march

Helix Robotics Solutions, the US Robotics division of Helix Energy Solutions Group, has entered into a one-year agreement with Bordelon Marine, LLC for the charter of the DP2 Jones Act-compliant Ultra-Light Intervention Vessel (ULIV) M/V Shelia Bordelon.

While Helix expects the vessel to primarily support Inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) operations for clients operating in US waters, it can support international work as well.

Designed as a fuel-efficient intervention vessel, the Shelia Bordelon features an NOV 50-tonne active heave compensating crane with 3,000 metres of wire, a mezzanine deck with internal offices, centralised online survey suite, offline data processing space, and two Triton 200hp ROVs with high spec survey capabilities.

With over 25 years of IRM expertise, Helix Robotics Solutions is well equipped to service clients’ light construction and renewables projects. The company performs subsea well interventions through wireline, coiled tubing, or hydraulic stimulation at project costs significantly lower than drilling rigs, with the versatility to perform both riser-based and riserless interventions.
