Leo, zijn dat niet die constructies die ze in de 2e wereldoorlog hebben neergezet om afweer op te plaatsen? Ik meen dat er ooit in de jaren 60 nog een piratenzender op gehuisvest was 8)

Ach Hans, toen ik eind jaren 80 ging informeren bij Larook in Spijkenisse (ik ben toch weer achter de naam gekomen) was het al zo dat je minstens firefighting moest doen op de Maasvlakte om in de race te blijven.
Uit andere verhalen had ik al begrepen dat de oude radio-operator inmiddels meer medic/administrateur was en allerhande klusjes tussendoor deed. En dan op platforms waar minstens 24 man opzitten. Dus omscholen tot medic was zowiezo ook al nodig. Maar omscholen tot telemetrie e.d. expert was natuurlijk ook niet verkeerd geweest :mrgreen: Had ik het nog wel ff uit kunnen zingen...

Ik vond het meer interessant omdat men (de BEB) destijds riep "niet commercieel genoeg voor exploitatie", waar door de veranderde infrastructuur op de Noordzee dat nu wel het geval is. Overigens het enige gasveld op het duitse plat. Er schijnt ook nog een olieveld te zijn wat maar een paar km buiten de kust ligt.

Dag Louis,

Larook, ja daar heb ik ook nog een blauwe maandag voor gewerkt op de Seafox 4.
Wat betreft die firefighting, sea survival en andere offshore cursussen dat werd allemaal door Larook betaald.
Dus het was misschien toch een optie geweest om er aan te beginnen.

M'n laatste koopvaarder was de Nedlloyd Van Noort daarna heb ik nog ruim een jaar op de bekende Prinses Margriet gevaren om aanstaande marofjes de edele praktijkbeginselen van het GMDSS bij te brengen.

In 1990 de zak genomen bij RH en overgestapt naar de offshore.
Eerst wat invalwerk op de Seafox 4 en een paar Neddrill rigs en daarna tot 1999 op het P6A gaspoductieplatform van Mobil/Clyde Petroleum.
Toen twee jaar voor Exxon-Mobil Equatorial Guinea op het nieuwe Jade platform (olieproductie met eigen drilling) en vanaf 2001 tot 2007 bij Wintershall op L8P4.
Altijd prima naar m'n zin gehad al was er van het oude radiowerk zoals wij dat van vroeger kende geen sprake meer.
Communicatie is allemaal net als aan de wal, dus niks meer zenders en ontvangers al heb je nog wel een kompleet GMDSS spulletje in je hok, gecompleteerd met radar, AIS etc.

Je had inderdaad offshore easy je pensioen kunnen halen want er was altijd werk zat.
Maar goed achteraf kijk je een koe in z'n ster natuurlijk.

Groeten,

Hans van den Toorn

Seafox 4 is toch de oude transocean 4? Die 6 poter?
Heb ik ook nog opgezeten, tijdens ombouw in Den Helder en periode daarna, waren het nog duitsers als pushers
Heb er m'n kraanpapieren nog gehaald maar al gauw bedacht dat dat toch niks voor me was en de drilling, ND7, ND4 etc ingegaan.
Na periode in Noorwegen uit de drilling geraakt en nu iets heel anders.

Mooie tijd maar als ik nu op linkedin zie hoe wanhopig sommige oud-collega's om werk smeken ben ik blij dat ik er uit ben.

Ja, die Seafox 4 is de Transocean 4 geweest, still going strong. Afgelopen jaar is de inham in het dek nog gedicht en is er een (hergebruikte) 400 tons kraan aan boord geplaatst. Klaar voor de toekomst...
Als we eens wisten, wat we allemaal wisten.

POSH Terasea to Bring Shell Prelude FLNG to Australia

POSH Terasea will project manage, tow and position the Shell Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) platform
from South Korea to the Prelude offshore gas field in Australia

Specialist offshore service contractor, POSH Terasea, has secured a project to provide towage and positioning services
for the Shell Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (“FLNG”) platform – the world’s largest offshore facility ever constructed.

POSH Terasea is a joint venture between PACC Offshore Services Holdings Ltd. (“POSH”) and Terasea Pte. Ltd.,
which is in turn a joint venture between Seabridge Marine Services Ltd. and Ezion Holdings Limited.

POSH Terasea was awarded the project after a competitive bidding process. As part of the project,
POSH Terasea will undertake to tow the Shell Prelude FLNG over 3,000 nautical miles from Samsung Shipyard in Geoje,
South Korea, where it is being built, to Australia, where it will be deployed.
It will then position the FLNG before it begins production at the Prelude gas field in the Browse LNG Basin,
200km off the northwest coast of Australia. POSH Terasea will be in charge of the overall towage project management.

President and Director of POSH Terasea Eric Ng, said:
“Towing and positioning a Floating Facilities that is about four times the size of a football field from Korea to a gas field in
Australia will be a massive and complex undertaking. We are excited to be entrusted to play such a critical role in this
milestone development and look forward to successfully delivering on yet another project.”

For the project, POSH Terasea will deploy five vessels:
Namely four Large Anchor Handling and Towage Vessels (AHT), the Terasea Osprey, Terasea Falcon, Terasea Hawk, Terasea Eagle;
and one 16,000 BHP Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel (AHTS), the POSH Champion.

The Shell Prelude FLNG facility is 488 metres long and 74 metres wide and has a fully loaded displacement capacity of about 600,000 tons.
It has around 260,000 tonnes of steel in the facility alone, around five times the amount of steel used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Chief Executive Officer of POSH, Captain Gerald Seow, said:

“We are proud to be part of what will be a landmark project for the entire oil and gas industry.
This contract win is testament to POSH Terasea’s strong track record as the world’s leading offshore transport and installation services provider.
“This also underscores POSH’s differentiated business strategy to diversify across the offshore services sector,
especially in areas with strong prospects like deepwater transport and installation.”

BP to Cut About 4,000 Exploration and Production Jobs as oil prices continue to fall

BP PLC said Tuesday it would slash about 4,000 jobs from its exploration-and-production unit—about one-sixth of
the staff in that business—over the next year or so, the latest in a wave of cuts across an industry beset by plummeting oil prices.

BP’s cuts will affect workers in places including Angola, Azerbaijan and the U.S., a spokesman said, where BP has big oil-and-gas production operations.
Some 600 of the cuts will come from BP’s operations in the North Sea. The company currently has about 3,000 employees in the North Sea,
and 24,000 exploration-and-production employees world-wide, the spokesman said.

BP’s announcement comes after many of its rivals announced similar levels of job cuts in response to oil prices that have fallen by
more than two-thirds since mid 2014. U.S. oil was trading just above $31 on Tuesday, brought lower by a Chinese slump in energy demand,
a continued world-wide crude glut and a strengthening American dollar.

In the U.S., Chevron said last year it could cut between 6,000 and 7,000 jobs. France’s Total SA ast year said it would cut 2,000 jobs by 2017.
Norway’s Statoil AS A said it would get rid of up to 1,500 permanent jobs and 525 consultants this year in a $1.7 billion cost-cutting program.
The company had previously cut 1,340 permanent jobs and 995 external consultants since the end of 2013.
Royal Dutch Shell PLC said in July it would slash 6,500 jobs, and could make further cuts in the wake of its planned acquisition of BG Group PLC,
expected to be completed in February.

Unlike its competitors, BP has been planning a major staff reduction unrelated to the oil price for more than two years.
After its 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster that killed 11 workers and sullied the U.S. coast,
BP sold more than $40 billion in assets to pay legal and cleanup costs.
Those sales shrunk the company’s operations, but not its head-count—in late 2014, BP said it had more than 84,000 employees.
Chief Executive Bob Dudley announced a $1 billion restructuring plan to be implemented last year that would save money partially through staffing cuts.

Overall, BP still has about 80,000 employees, the spokesman said. BP cut about 4,000 last year, the spokesman said.
He said the cuts announced Tuesday are in line with the cost-reduction plan and in response to low oil prices.
The spokesman said the cuts would include layoffs and eliminating positions through attrition.

Last fall, BP announced a plan to cope with the oil-price crash, intending to shift the company’s operations by 2017
so that its cash flow would cover its spending at $60-a-barrel oil, nearly twice the current price.

Since the price slump, the oil industry has seen some 250,000 layoffs world-wide, according to Houston consultancy Graves & Co.
Santander analyst Jason Kenney said he expects to see the even more layoffs in coming months as companies struggle to cope with falling revenue.

“We need to see significant disinvestment going forward,” he said.

There appears to be little relief in sight for oil companies. Investment banks have sharply cut their price outlooks in recent weeks.
Brent crude, the international oil price benchmark, will average $50 a barrel this year,
according to 11 banks polled by The Wall Street Journal, down $7 from the previous month’s survey.

Following delivery to Vroon during a ceremony held on Jan 4 at Fujian Southast Shipyard,
the vessel left the Shipyard yesterday (Jan 14) on her way to Hong Kong.

VOS Primrose is a KCM-80m platform-supply vessel (PSV) and the third in a series of eight sister vessels ordered by Vroon Offshore Services.
All vessels have an SPS code and are equipped with full (under-deck) supply capabilities, that include stainless-steel tanks for the carriage of methanol.
They provide accommodation and workspace for a total complement of 52 persons (comprising client staff and up to 14 crew members).

The unique vessel concept provides a free deck space of 720 m2 and is based on a design by Khiam Chuan Marine (KCM).
In close cooperation, KCM,, Vroon’s Newbuilding Engineering Department,
the world-renowned yacht designer KER Yacht Design & Engineering and Force Technology in Copenhagen worked together
to fully optimise the design in order to ensure favourable motion and sea-keeping ability and efficient fuel consumption (both in DP mode and during transit).
