TC - I believe the BP Adviser post is essentially to replace 'KG' who retired earlier in the year and is to cover Europe (thus including BOH) and Africa - no Jigsaw connection. From what my contacts at BP say, the second round of interviews were being held a week ago.
Mikilia1A - Jigsaw was a trial, recently finished which included a new Bristow AS332L2 G-JSAR, to evaluate the practicality of using 4 offshore based and 2 shore based SAR helicopters to complement/replace old style stand by vessels for BP. Lots of references in past posts.
Results generally considered good, with 'rescues' demonstrated in extreme wave heights close to rigs, but reduced BP operations in North Sea may make it less likely without teaming between oil companies, and the new broom at UKOOA is pushing that organisation away from coordinating practical matters like SAR ops.
Any new appointments at BOH?
