Thumbs up Well said Froggy

But a S92 with SAR capabilities won't be able to land on some rigs due to the weight limitations, smaller aircrafts will still have to do night stand-by


some rigs
Try nearly all rigs and most platforms

Not really a weight problem though. Apart from Agbami and Bonga there are virtually no decks in any part of Nigeria that have sufficient "D" value to accept a S92 Unrestricted. It may be acceptable to operate "Restricted" to some inshore main platforms but certainly not to the vast majority of the jack ups and inadequate lighting and virtually non existant Fire Fighting facilities even on main platforms will probably rule these out too. As for Swamp platforms - forget them all - the larger ones are only 14 meters "D"
