My decks were under 3 feet of water and we couldn't sound the ballast tanks. So yes. We had 30 foot waves breaking over the rig and had a fire break out in the engine room at one point. Pumping out ballast on a floating drill ship is fine so long as the pumps can keep up and their pumps are obviously keeping up fine.
you are being a pretty big dickhead
you didnt go through what these guys just went through
so how about you STFU?

It's a ship so can move around much more easily than a semisubmersible

What is the status? Are they able to move under their own power?

Can confirm the evacuation is starting within the next hour or so. Flying the folks into Mississippi.

this was in a deleted thread yesterday
buried somewhere deep in an OT storm thread was a post from a guy on the Globetrotter 2

Good friend was working on the Globetrotter. Riser got stuck after someone waited too long to make the call to depart - probably due to the fact they were having very expensive issues with the well. He called them 50 -60' waves that they were getting slammed by. Ship is listing 30 degrees and most of the equipment is toast. Its next destination is probably a scrap yard.

The life boasts aren't out on deck.
I'm aware of that but they still have to go outside of the living quarters to man the life capsules.

They are located along both sides of the living quarters.
And you know damn well that any area outside of the living quarters/galley area is considered to be "out on deck".

Between seacorps and this, it's about time for the long hand of regulation to reach offshore.
Please name any other instances before we start talking regulation.
Every other drill ship in the gulf figured out how to move the frick out for Ida.

A 30 degree list and still floating is amazing.

That shits on the captain. He’s fricking PIC and should have said frick you we’re leaving. I doubt shell would have had much to say.

Ships often are hit by rogue waves while at sea. A high school buddy on a tanker one rolled almost 90 degrees while underway after being hit at mid ships by a rogue wave He was in his bunk and his porthole was in the sea.

So the reason the company is asking them to get back to work and get the ship secured is because they are trained for it and dealing with emergencies as well as it is part of the job requirements/duties.
All of the rig crew are trained in advanced emergency management and other specific training. There is expectations and duties when it comes to emergencies and all of us in the industry are aware of this. It's part of the job.
At the end of the day the Captain failed the crew and whoever waited so long to unlatch and evade messed up big.
Regardless, lots of lawsuits incoming.

These captains are monkeys bruh. They make 250 to 300k a year and are yes men! Most of them anyway! Lots of lives to protect.

Oh thank you Jesus. Our electricity went out due to lightning so I took a nap.
Glad to hear rescue is in the works.
