I couldn't agree more Hookesjoint. Whilst the capabilities of the modern aircraft we're seeing nowadays makes overwater SAR at night & in adverse weather a much safer thing than in the past, it's still nothing to be taken lightly as has been sadly demonstrated by the loss of R116 in March (& I'm not for a moment suggesting the ICC took their job lightly)
I sincerely hope that all players keep their focus on what's important & that's staying safe out there!

Gullibell,

Shell has full AWSAR cover now on a number of its operations, Gulf of Mexico and Brunei being two examples.

As I understand it the contract is to provide AWSAR.
Wrong Crab, no awsar until next year. You dont know this area so funny how you are such an expert sitting in England.

Twisty

When HNZ can’t do it (temporarily we would assume), someone is paying (extra) BRS and CHC to do it.
inpex uses HNZ and BRS as helicopter companies so while BRS covers limsar we are covering more offshore runs which they would be doing. So i don't think it costs extra for BRS to do limsar.

Slightly off topic and apologies for that but with this many Aus experts, who is flying the Chevron work in the GAB at the moment? I heard a couple of rumours about that too.

NWS, from Friday's ABC online

Major international energy company Chevron has announced it has joined BP in abandoning plans to drill in the Great Australian Bight on South Australia's west coast.
It said while the Bight had massive potential, low oil prices had forced it to concentrate on other projects.


Chevron said the decision to ditch its $400 million plans had nothing to do with government policy, regulatory, community or environmental concerns.
So I don't think anyone is or will be flying it.

II, thank you Sir. I heard Babcock had it but that wasn't so much of a rumour as a press release that was publicly announced...! Fail on my part. And there was me thinking I had some gossip...

so the logical thing to do would be to dump HNZ and use BRS for transfers AND you would get AWSAR as well.

Are you confident that BRS have the ability to hold a genuine AWSAR service out of Broome?

The water is warm, not sure why they'd need an AWSAR capability. In Bass Strait the water is cold: for almost 50 years Esso has never had a night SAR capability, or all-WX day capability for that matter. This must be a new-age Shell driven thing.

As far as I know, if an Esso crew gets called out at night, and the unfortunate should happen and they end up floating on the tide, they continue floating until day break.
