Bravo Beta

This is the Danish stand by vessel Esvagt Beta. After the Piper Alpha disaster in 1988 with 167 offshore workers killed, one of the conclusions of the Lord Cullen enquiry committee was that stand by vessel are essential for the safety of (live) platforms personnel. It is a complete industry these days, with a lot of crewmembers involved. This morning a dummy was thrown into the water from the platform and the Man OVer Board alarm was raised. The Esvagt Beta was informed and they managed to launch their Fast Rescue Boat and pick up the dummy within three minutes. That is absolutely stunning. Well Done!
