I think NVG's have been considered, but there's too much lighting around the rigs to make it a reasonable solution. You're right, it's probably quite often disorientation while low level shuttling close into the rigs : not sure if it would be classed as the landing or not, but it's the approach/low level phase at night that's statistically the thing that causes fatalities outside of major mechanical failures eg gearboxes.
