Weather Issues Remaining for Lifeboats

The petroleum industry is facing a new autumn and winter with challenges concerning the lifeboats on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). Throughout the winter, StatoilHydro will have to continue transferring personnel on some platforms in adverse weather conditions. This could affect production. On Sept. 8 some of the crew on the Visund platform in the North Sea were airlifted to other platforms nearby, or to the mainland.
