Don’t understand why one (out of three) operators has now determined there’s a serious enough issue that they may? not be fit for purpose, with everyone else still using them ? Are these manufacturing issues (defects), or has it been tabled that the minimum Standard is no longer acceptable ?
Madrock, main reason that one operator has gave their workers the choice and are investigating the suits is most likely due to the number of PAX who have exercised their right to refuse an unsafe work condition and opted to transfer by vessel or not go to work. The same asset has lost at least 8 people to my knowledge, not all because of the immersion suit issue, but it's certainly been a contributory factor for some of them.
