Craigs on the move is he? Hope all goes well for him (e-Fugro Skandi Carla – left after he had enough after the near miss when the cursor fell down crushing XL27 whch would have killed any of the ROV guys if they had still been working on it at the time)
The DOF engineer should have been shot instead of the slap on the wrist!
Old XL 27 was lucky she never ended up looking like an MFI flat pack but then again she was a hardy brute.
Hope Craig enjoys his new job.]
That was not a very happy shift that day. To put what Ray said into perspective to be injured in that incident you would have had to be stood ontop of the TMS. As it was when the engineer was working on the leaking pump the ROV crew was drinking tea in the coffee shop.
There were a lot of factors involved that day and the engineer although he was the individual working on the system was not fully up to speed on the LARS system and he was only preparing the leaking pump for Odin to come out and do the actual warranty repair work.
The politics started straight away and Craig was put in an awful postion right in the middle of it. I cannot blame him for moving on afterwards and as one of the crew on shift at the time of the incident I have to point out that there were at least four other very experienced guys on shift at the time who also did not notice what later became a very obvious risk.
Lots of lessons learnt that day from an incident with no personnel injuries which is the important thing.
Good luck in Oz Craig.
