I agree that 30 mins is not really enough, but is better than nothing, and you have to bear in mind the probability of total loss oil on a Super Puma type system is extremely low - as we previously discussed, a few close calls but no actual ditchings in the SP's 28 years on the N Sea.

Leak from the bottom of the sump on a 61 is land immediately, ditto on a 225, 139 etc is 30 mins. That is the difference and that is why the S61 does not comply with 29.975.
