Very sad news indeed. Many good people there to whom I offer my sincere condolences.
However, it is never over 'til the fat lady sings, and I think I'm right in saying that this company has traded out of similar difficulties in the past. After all, it does have its North Sea oil ops to fall back on. Surely any other company operating on BWA's contract with Shell is presently doing so merely on sub to BWA ... isn't it?
Good luck to all there.
