Some rigs are "not normally manned". They, obviously, have nobody on board to talk too but there will still be regular chopper flights ferrying maintenance crews to them.
Whilst I agree with the above, I remember discovering that the guy(s) who answered our calls to the rig off Wallasey were not actually on it - they were broadcasting from some ground based station on the mainland - but that still gave the rig an ATZ.
