That means there were 7 non crew or contractors on board. I wonder what type of job they were going out on.
Coastie said they were heading to MP area. Construction crew was probably going to be brought out in a few days to minimize them having to be paid for longer transit time and survey and preload.

Yes, but if they were in their bunks, which they shouldn't have been if the legs were going down, they probably wouldn't have time to get out. Damn I hate this.
Every time I’ve left out on to start off a hitch pretty much every person on board is awake, and active. Especially is there is rough weather. You’re either stowing stuff away, securing or doing maintenance on equipment, or using that last bit of cell phone signal you can.
Seeing as the weather was bad, I doubt there was anyone on deck, which I assume when it flipped trapped a lot of people inside. I’d imagine if it flipped as fast I’ve heard them a lot of those guys probably got injured or even knocked out. It can be a very violent place inside of boats in rough seas. I’ve seen guys trying to sleep before on a crew boat run go from the floor to ceiling, and back to the floor faster than you could imagine. Broken bones, cuts, and being knocked out as a result.
Horrible imagining what these guys may have went through.

Google T&T/Bisso Salvage barges.
Remember when Bisso salvaged that barge wrapped on the piers of the GNO bridge. They cut it in pieces with a saw chain.

A Coil Tubing crew was on board. Day/night

T&T also was awarded the contract to salvage that car carrier that flipped off the coast of Savannah Georgia. I think they are still on that job.
They cut the ship up in 3 or 4 pieces.

When the search and rescue is done, can they even retrieve that vessel?
Yes I've been on a salvage job where we got a Rowan rig that fell in the Gom during a storm. In 100+ft of water. They used anchor chain to cut through the hull and bring it out in pieces

Capsized Seacor lift vessel off Louisiana coast was headed to Main Pass 138, under contract to Talos Energy in the shallow-water Gulf of Mexico about 40 miles east of Venice, La., sources tell @WWLTV

Do you know which contractor?

The jack up was otw to a Coil Tubing job. It’s an awful situation. I have ridden in those boats so many times I can’t count. U just lay in ur bunk waiting to arrive on location to start pre loading the jack up. It doesn’t take much for the waves to prevent you from going on the bottom deck to the galley. Those boats are not made for rough seas.

Didn't they recently lose some guy in a helicopter crash?

This vessel has 50 bunks. It carries a crew of 12. The fact that there was only 19 people on board is simply amazing. That means there were 7 non crew or contractors on board. I wonder what type of job they were going out on.
I always assumed the work crews on jack-ups go out by helicopter or crew boat rather than riding out with the jack-up, is that not the case?
Seems like they wouldn’t want non-essentials onboard during mob for both safety and cost reasons.

Any word if the missing guys were trapped or did they make it off the lift boat?

No. On a lift boat all parties ride it out to location and back in. Those small companies aren't paying for flights and since it was coil tubing, the CT crew loaded the vessel with the equipment and rode it out. That's how it works.

Yes I think you are correct. Production hand from Houma and the pilot. Went down in the marsh before reaching the GOM. IIRC.

Some areas in Grand Isle and Port Fourchon had some downed powerlines. I can't imagine how bad it was offshore. Some pictures posted on facebook:

Gotcha. I guess some of it probably depends on the type/size/duration of the job as well. I’ve had to sleep on a jack-up once or twice when they were set up as aux quarters, but I’ve never been offshore when one mobilized.
ETA: Also makes sense that the coiled tubing crew would ride out since they had to load their equipment anyway. I was thinking more along the lines of construction crews where their “equipment” is a connex box full of tools.

They are designed pretty well to keep the boat crew/cooks/galley hands separated from the contractors/divers/company men.

The stairs are usually on the outside, not the inside. I've only seen a few lift boats with stairs from the second level to the galley.
On this boat the stairs are inside the living quarters. Prayers for an air pocket
