SASless, with 4 different machines involved in the rescue you of all people should know the payload/power capabilities of each, LN-OMM the Norwegian B214ST will quite easily lift 18 people with full fuel,( seen them lift 18 with full fuel over 35oC), BONDS 332 L2 would have a good payload too, but the poor old S61 and Seaking you have range or payload not both, when CHC get the S92 they should be able to carry much larger survivor loads and still have good range and power margines. But it was good to see all went well and the cordination between, all operators/services worked well.
