The deadly Ebola outbreak in Nigeria is reportedly affecting operations of Bourbon SA (GBB), the supplier of ships and crew to energy producers as it swung to a loss in the first half partly on industry cost cutting, Bloomberg says.

“The mobility of our vessels coming from Nigeria has been restricted by some countries,” Chief Executive Officer Christian Lefevre told reporters. “Vessels coming from Nigeria can’t go directly to Cameroon or Ivory Coast.”

While Bourbon has stopped sending vessels to Nigeria for maintenance, there haven’t been any “significant disruptions” to operations, he said. The company’s Nigerian operations are centered around the southern oil hub of Port Harcourt. The city recorded its first death from the outbreak on Aug. 22.
