good idea to try it when the weather is fine.
Having spoken to offshore workers who were on a trial in the past, they hated it. Sea sick. couldnt man-up in a heavy swell, long time to travel back and forth to shore and loss of their time -off. They werent impressed at all.
They still use basket transfers in Gulf of Thailand for inter field movements by boat. But because the rigs are 100+ miles offshore then its a 6+ hour journey by boat. Probably one of the reasons helicopters are busier than ever in Gulf of Thailand.
