A company caught up in a โdangerousโ Buchan Alpha decommissioning incident has been given little more than a โslap on the wristโ by the HSE, according to an offshore union.
Work is underway to remove the remains of the Buchan Alpha oil rig, feared to become an โeyesoreโ as it lay stranded in waters off a Shetland pier.
Waking up to a white Christmas will have come as no surprise to a team from a Shetland-based engineering firm who are spending the festive season working on a project described as โunique and challengingโ by the companyโs boss.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) yesterday made public a prohibition notice served to Shetland-based company Ocean Kinetics for a safety breach while working at Aberdeen Harbour.
NOF Energy, the UK business development organisation for oil, gas, nuclear and offshore renewables sectors, is helping Shetland-based energy sector supply chain businesses access new markets.
