The drill rig "Songa Dee" in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea was evacuated Monday evening, after a supply ship lost engine power and drifted up against the rig. No one was injured.
The "Songa Dee" crew of around 50 persons was evacuated to nearby platforms or to shore. The rig is located just south of the Alfheim Field, 130 nautical miles north-west of Stavanger. The supply ship is not leaking, and has been pulled away from the rig, but was Tuesday morning still caught in one of the rig's anchor chains. With waves of three metres, the work to free the supply ship is difficult, NRK reports. (NRK) Rolleiv Solholm |
