This has got to have huge potential for those who commit early in offshore operations. It has the potential for operators to offer a new capability for a more comprehensive logistics solution. In these days of cutting cost it may allow operators to reduce the number of bases to essentially one hub and provides a needed increase in range of operations. As operations expand into the arctic areas of Northern Norway this may well be the answer to the long range ops there. However the limit to 9 pax may be a significant limiting factor, but when compared to an S92 with extended range tanks and the loss of pax seats there, this may prove to be a more palatable solution.
