It’s one thing keeping the mrgb idle then a short ferry flight is it not a completely different scenario to shutdown and start-up on the rig then to shutdown and start-up again on the vessel ?

I think that for ferrying by supply boat, the helicopter would hoisted on board by platform crane.
Normally with blades dismounted.
I have seen it done long time ago for a S76 from the Noble Kolskaya
