Re HCA
I know, you just couldn’t make this stuff up.
when ‘new’ rigs were being commissioned and used in UZk waters and yet still had dated helitech design and lighting - and were still permitted to be used for CAT???
Lets be honest here folks - it took repeated accidents and public pressure to embarrass the CAA and other authorities into action. The stories of the CAA asking the operators which stone they were allowed to ‘look under’ are legendary and will cost someone a lot of money one day.
just as in the Financial Sector, the Light Touch tactics used by authorities had avoidable consequences.
