A 6,000,000 tonne vessel? Seems like someone got carried away with pressing zeros on the keyboard. Try 600,000 tonnes.
Still, at that, I guess the Prelude FLNG platform will be an easier landing target than a regular fixed rig - although I've yet to see what the allowable movement of the FLNG platform is.
That's some serious dollars right there in that chopper and crew setup - but at least it's good to see Shell paying attention to the likely possibility of a disaster in the oil industry.
It's also good to see they are happy to become involved in civilian emergencies and SAR.
The crew probably appreciate the "real-life" training of finding fishermen who have usually done something silly - and no doubt they appreciate the break from the boredom of sitting around waiting for that major call that energises them.
