Skandi AchieverLetter from BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC

On behalf of the bp Trinidad and Tobago Serrette Project Team I wish to congratulate Technip USA and the crew of the Skandi Achiever for the combined efforts in the completion of the Subsea Field Development Program.

Although the project experiences some challenges the hard work and diligence of both the off-shore crew and onshore support teams ensured the work scope was completed, accident free, on time and to the satisfaction of bp.

Technip can be proud of the Skandi Achiever crew and their ability to adapt and improvise to chal-lenging situations whilst maintaining an excellent safety record and to borrow the Technip phrase, GET THE JOB DONE!

It is noted that during the 62 days (APPROX 150,000 Manhours) the vessel accomplished 123 Saturation Dives and 41 ROV Inspection Dives with Zero Accidents, Zero Environmental Incidents and Zero HIPOS.

The HSE Leading Indicators submitted from the vessel are an excellent example of Technip’s commitment to safety and the HSE performance of this project will be taken into consideration for award of future work.

TBT’s = 524Hazard Observations = 155Safety Inspections = 105JSA’s = 61Safety Time Out’S = 31Safety Suggestions = 12ORCA (BBS) audit = 63

Thanks again for Technip’s contribution to this important bpTT project.

Lars Heine’s CornerDear all,

The summer in the Northern part of Europe are soon coming to an end, and employees involved in operations will soon start preparing the budgets for next year. Even though the market situation is looking quite good for DOF, the focus will always be to keep control of the costs. Preparing real-istic budgets for safe operation of our vessels is very important in that respect. For those of you who are involved in this work; try to include all expenses, but also be prepared that suggestions for improvement will be challenged, and might be rejected.

From time to time I believe we all are having hectic days at work, both at sea and onshore. I would like to encourage you all to focus at your health, by eating healthy and do regular exercising.Remember that a 30 minutes’ walk each day can make a big difference. With strong health you are also better fit for stressed situations at work. When having a hard day on the job, please try to focus on the things you have managed to do, don’t bother too much on the things you did not manage. Remember; tomorrow is another day!

As you all know, DOF have a growing fleet of sophisticated vessels. The last vessel in the fleet was named on the 31st of July. Skandi Skolten is an impressive vessel, and I would like to con-gratulate all personnel involved in the project. At present Skandi Skolten and her sister vessel Skandi Vega are the largest Anchor-Handlers in the world, with a lenght of 108m, a breath of 24m and 35.000Hp in the engine room. Skandi Skolten even performed a new record Bollard Pull test, said to be the highest pull done by any Anchor-Handler so far. This fact is proudly marked by the crew as you can see on the picture below.

With a growing fleet you will meet new colleagues, please welcome and take good care of new team members, and help them contributing to success for yourself and the company.

Yours SincerelyLarsH
