Clock Ticking for Companies Operating Offshore Newfoundland |

Written by VOCM

Friday, 19 February 2010 |
|
The clock is ticking on oil companies operating offshore Newfoundland and Labrador to tell the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board their plans for search and rescue services. Inquiry Commissioner Robert Wells released early recommendations last week, seeking a dedicated, full-time search and rescue helicopter based in St. John's with a quicker response time than the current one hour wheels-up. The board has requested the operators reply by today. The industry has also been asked to quit flying at night, except in emergency situations, something the regulator has already ordered the operators to comply with. The first phase of the Inquiry wrapped up yesterday. Commissioner Wells says the search and rescue response time was one of the issues he felt needed immediate attention. Wells says he was particularly struck by the fact that response times in other offshore jurisdictions is as low as 15 minutes. Wells says he will now consult with the lawyers to help concentrate on some of the major issues. He will begin those sessions on Tuesday and hopes to have the issues finalized by the end of March.
