The Valaris 92, previously called the Ensco 92, sustained 'significant damage' when the Ben Nevis vessel crashed into it last year
Valaris has been criticised by the safety watchdog after a North Sea supply ship crashed into one of its offshore rigs causing “significant damage” and forcing it to return to port for repair.
The drilling contractor has been accused of not protecting workers from the risk of injury arising from platform supply vessels (PSV) colliding with mobile installations.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said Valaris had failed to implement a “safe system of work” to control ship operations within the 500 metre safety radius around rigs.
