No NHV fanboys willing to dish the dirt? Well there's a surprise!

Waiting to see the crane hoist of shame photos. Hard to believe the operator would accept a Airbus inspector's word after Norway.

No shame in being cautious, only in unprofessional anonymous sniping.

I hear Tullow have 2 in Ghana and one is badly broken. With a different problem to the broken one in Aberdeen w/ Chevron.

Great when it works is what I hear. Which is not very often.

How are the two NHV 175 doing in the Tullow contract in Ghana?

Heard that it was up for tender....

PHI has won the Tullow contract in Ghana with 2x S-92s. Although mostly remaining in the USA GOM, PHI does bid internationally but is very selective about which work and tender to bid and which ones to leave alone.

Thanks for the update, ii

Must be a huge blow to NHV, since they have just spend lots on the shift from the 155. How many pilots are then out of a job, 20-30? Unless NHV can use them (with the 175 rating elsewhere)?

Can I asume that PHI have enough already employed pilots with experience on the S92, to fill in the new contract?

Those are likely to be N registered S-92s, so an FAA certificate and relative TR may be appropriate.

II is right. NHV lost the contract but sent the 175s as a hail mary sales pitch to Tullow. It didn't work and PHI will show up later this year.

If the NHV 175s are ADS-B equipped, they should show up on Flight24 (the S92s and 189s already do). That they are not at all for the last 3 days of last week (I don't have all day to check every day!) says that with Tullow's project coming on line, NHV are back using the N3s and the 175s are broken again.

Anyone?

175s on Esbjerg contract
Is this additional work or just taking the place of defunct 225s?
Understand NHV boys n girls are being asked for a 2-year bond - not sure where NHV think they will run away too within 2-years?

NHV starts H175 operations for Maersk Oil out of Esbjerg - Vertical Magazine

'with whom it has a long standing relationship' to me suggests this is not new work but plugging a gap with the new aircraft.

Let's see if we can get Greeny9 to use his Jedi mind trick again 'all is well, these ac are perfect, serviceable and flying with 100% no issues ever at all'...

Last week 16-17 Aug I saw OO-NSF flying from Den Helder. This is one of the aircraft originaliteiten stationed in Aberdeen. Looks like they are swapping out machines?
