Shell Southern North Sea Contract 2012
Currently with Bristow, up for renewal in July I hear.
Any bets/rumours on who will win it? Bristow, CHC, NHV, Dancopter, Bond, Heliholland?? |
Yes, definitely one of those...
...if Bristow don't retain it:ok: |
Heliholland? :rolleyes:
|
If HeliHolland get it, i'm screwed, i have trouble enough calling the single one that flys from Durham every now and then the correct callsign. Ends up "HollyHelland" ...... crews never sound impressed :ugh:
|
The cheapest? Why else split it from the Northern North Sea?
|
Well if its due in July then there must be a winner soon!
But if Bristow do loose it then what of their SAR in Den Helder. |
Certainly not CHC there is as least as much chance of CHC winning it as any others you mention:ugh: |
Rumour has it Shell will announce the award of the contract at the end of the year.
Rumour also has it that the decision of the award of the contract will be Shells' and theirs alone. |
I did hear that Shell won't renew it if M.I. is in charge of Bristow European!
|
Shouldn't the question be..............
" Who WANTS Shell?":\ |
Considering that Heli Holland operate helicopters on behalf of Greenpeace, it might be hard to imagine they might ever be under serious consideration for a contract for any oil company? :eek:
|
Greenpeace
Which contract do you think is worth more?
|
Worth more!
If they are cheap they will get it. Whales or no whales.
|
I did hear that Shell won't renew it if M.I. is in charge of Bristow European! |
Does anybody know whether this is a renewal of an existing contract or the expansion of the current one?
The real Q is... New Jobs? |
Jobs...... I would wait for the outcome first to see who is succesfull and what country their AOC is because TUPE doesn't always apply.
|
My target your talking cross purposes, this is about an oil and gas contract in the north sea nothing to do with SAR :ok:.

Yes i know its O&G, but Bristows who have this contract split between NL & UK also operate 2 S61's for NOGEPA (i think). So if they lost the contract, i asked in a earlier post what would happen to the SAR? Would they keep it going in Den Helder or is it part and parcel with this contract.
|
AH I see what you mean, sorry.

TUPE
It's my limited understanding of TUPE that unless Bristow go under as a result of loosing the Shell contract, then TUPE does not apply. So if, for example, Bond or CHC won the contract, they would not be legally obliged to employ any of the Bristow pilots.
Is this how it works or am I missing something? If its not, then the pilots at Bristow have nothing to fear as they can just walk into another Norfolk based operation. That is assuming it's won by a Norfolk based operator... Can anyone clarify / expand on this? |
Transfer of undertakings (TUPE) - Acas
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) protects employees' terms and conditions of employment when a business is transferred from one owner to another. Employees of the previous owner when the business changes hands automatically become employees of the new employer on the same terms and conditions. It's as if their employment contracts had originally been made with the new employer. Their continuity of service and any other rights are all preserved. Both old and new employers are required to inform and consult employees affected directly or indirectly by the transfer. |
Thanks, but that's the stuff I’ve read but still don't fully understand.
Employees of the previous owner when the business changes hands automatically become employees of the new employer on the same terms and conditions Am I on the right line or still missing something? |
When Bristow won the Conoco contract from chc last year, all the chc pilots were TUPE'd across.
|
That doesn't bode well for the creation of any new jobs on the SNS next year! :(
|
That doesn't bode well for the creation of any new jobs on the SNS next year! Swings/roundabouts etc. |
Surely this only matters if Bond or CHC are successful, if one of the foreign operators wins then no TUPE.
|
When Bristow won the Conoco contract from chc last year, all the chc pilots were TUPE'd across. No, only pilots on the type that Bristow's wanted...the S76 drivers. They didn't want the 365N pilots. TUPE can be a real mixed blessing if you don't fly the type that the new company want. |
Any news on this contract?

Lots of rumours - which one would you like?
The one that Shell have said they will not fly in any aircraft smaller than current? The one that some bloke 'in the know' and has had it 'on good authority' said that it has gone to that other company with 3 initials..... IT WILL GO TO THE CHEAPEST PROVIDER which means the staff will be the lowest paid in the sector spares back-up will be minimum robbing Peter to pay Paul cutting corners - but never jeopardising safety margins ie lots of shuffling deck chairs around on the titanic happy days - here we go again! |
IT WILL GO TO THE CHEAPEST PROVIDER |
........only if I win the Lottery!:uhoh:
|
The one that some bloke 'in the know' and has had it 'on good authority' said that it has gone to that other company with 3 initials..... |

NHV
It remind's me of watching International its a knockout and Eddy Waring saying" Here comes the Belgans " as a group in fancy dress stumble on to the scene falling over each other and carrying a Joker..... always makes me snigger. Just my view of course . |
Grande Bretagne.........Nul point! :O
|
High Speed gennie - my point exactly - always have to go through this rubbish prior to renewal time - it is a rumour network after all so maybe next time we can just put a link to previous posts on the matter?
