Saw a guy offshore once who had done the training, got on the chopper etc fine, but absolutely shat it as soon as he went out on the platform walkways / stairs that are largely steel mesh with a view straight down to the sea. Refused to leave the accommodation block and that was promptly the end of his offshore career. More cake for me though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one is stepping on slugs/snails, nothing worse especially with a socked footSurely it's worse with a bare foot?My mate went into his kitchen one night and slipped on a slug that had found its way inside and landed on his arse. I'm not sure if my foot would ever feel clean again after something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never experienced it barefoot, would probably be the final straw tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Saw a guy offshore once who had done the training, got on the chopper etc fine, but absolutely shat it as soon as he went out on the platform walkways / stairs that are largely steel mesh with a view straight down to the sea. Refused to leave the accommodation block and that was promptly the end of his offshore career. More cake for me though. Had the same with an Egyptian fella once too, had worked land rigs all his career & was literally on his hands & knees as soon as he stepped off the helideck onto the grating. Really felt for the guy as he was good at his job but couldn’t get the lucrative UK contract he was after due to this affliction.Must admit I chuckled slightly on first seeing him crawling tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that same story repeated on just about every platform I have been on during the past twenty years. Strangely I've never heard it said on a drilling rig which are less suitable for the feint hearted!

Only when you see the support vessels alongside that you realise how far down the drop is. Much the same with the chopper when the height quadruples as soon as you see a fishing boat for a scale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I've been on Clair a few times in the past. Being on a Semi WoS in winter can be an experience....loosing anchors and a good bit of pitch and roll! If folk whitey at walking on grating, I'd love to see them do a boat transfer on the Billy Pugh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I was at an all you can eat buffet before and there was a guy eating a big plate of mussels but he was using the old mussel shells as a pincer to get the next ones out and the noise of those scraping together still gives me shivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulmar was like that, you got off the Chopper, through the hanger then onto the Kennedy grating with a view all the way down. It doesn't happen so much on Drilling rigs because they are a different breed of Tiger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
