Case Study: Bordelon Marine achieves flexible ultra-light-intervention vessel operations with Cummins power systems

Bordelon Marine - Customer Case Study

Bordelon Marine, a Gulf of Mexico offshore vessel operator, faced a shifting market that demanded more flexible ultra-light-intervention capabilities from its Stingray 260 Class DP2 platform supply vessels. To meet charterer needs for ROV operations and heavy crane support, the company needed added onboard power and equipment without sacrificing deck space or exposing gear to the environment. Cummins engines and gensets were used as part of the vessel’s propulsion and power platform.

Cummins helped Bordelon Marine adapt the Stingray design by adding below-deck power systems, including additional Cummins QSK38 and QSK19 generators tied into the vessel’s control software. This created a clean, plug-and-play setup with a clear back deck, fully redundant power for the 50-ton AHC crane and up to two work-class ROV systems, and safe bridge-based monitoring and control. The result was a more versatile vessel that could better serve changing offshore charter requirements while protecting equipment and preserving cargo space.
