No apology necessary. As stated, I respect your view.
I apologise myself however if my support (earlier in the thread) for a comparison between British and Norwegian operations was in any way unhelpful. I can only plead ignorance together with an initial alarm at the statistics being touted. The situation is still far from clear though and it would seem that
some recommendations from the Sintef report may be applicable as well as other general operational procedures from Norway but, none of this is as yet confirmed.
We've had something similar this morning with another set of statistics being touted telling us that GOM ops are safer than NS ops and which comes as a surprise because within the industry NS operators use their NS ops as a sort of professional benchmark. Again, as with the 'Norwegian scenario' the facts are too sparse for us to draw any substantive interpretations let alone conclusions.
Hence my support for Mechta's proposal which I think is a sound idea.
