Johan Rasmusen, Acergy
IMCA President, 2010
The recent event in the US Gulf, sadly causing
loss of life and severe environmental damage,
has shown that the risks inherent in the
offshore oil and gas business are all too real.
At IMCA this incident has caused us to ask
ourselves about working together industry-wide
– including operators, contractors, suppliers and
industry bodies – to improve the situation in our
area. We should endeavour to minimise risks and
put in place stronger prevention and recovery
mechanisms through the creation of more effective
processes and systems. Paramount to achieving
this is the superior strength of a supply chain that
works together for the benefit of the industry as a
whole.
An industry-wide approach to bring together
representatives from all key parties to discuss
such issues is something IMCA is working hard
to facilitate. As an independent body eager to
represent all stakeholders in our industry, IMCA
would like to play a facilitation role to act as a
conduit for change.
One such opportunity was our recent Offshore
Construction Insurance Workshop in London in
April which set about doing just this. The event
enjoyed wide participation and was very positively
received. An example is the discussion on builders
all risks (BAR) insurance which brought all the
relevant parties together and also discussed the
risk balance in the contracts between clients and
contractors. IMCA would like to further expand
this forum and include dialogue with others
including associations like OGP.
IMCA learns from time to time that invitations
to tender are issued that require the bidders
to undertake a larger than normal amount of
engineering work in order to tender. This may
indicate that the FEED study for a project has been
minimised, perhaps to save cost and time in today’s
climate. However, it does not look fair to require
‘free engineering’ from scarce resources for which
no compensation is paid.
This is a small matter in comparison with the
challenges that have arisen from the US Gulf blowout. However, I think these points are related to
the overall discussion about how costs and risks are
shared in our industry.

IMCA’s Largest and Most Successful Safety Seminar Yet!
The eighth annual IMCA
safety seminar, on the theme
Safety is our common language,
was held at the Marriott
Hotel in Singapore on 24-25
February 2010. This was the
third such event to be held
outside Europe, and was the
largest and most successful
IMCA safety seminar ever,
with a record-breaking 160
delegates attending.
This year’s two day event
featured a wide range of
presentations and round table
discussions on a variety of
topical safety-related issues,
as well as a safety share fair
at which members brought
and displayed samples of
their own safety promotional
material.
David Forsyth, ViceChairman of the IMCA Safety,
Environment & Legislation
(SEL) Core Committee,
opened proceedings with
the first keynote address. He
reviewed the background to
the continuing international
journey of the IMCA safety
seminar and noted that
safety was the one goal and
objective which linked all
IMCA member companies.
Using illustrations from his
own broad experience over
many years he encouraged
members to use the seminar
to share knowledge and
experiences, influence
behaviours and attitudes,
and coach and mentor
others toward achieving the
safest possible workplace.
Another key theme was
practical techniques for
delivering core safety values.
Jim Fortnum of BP Berau
highlighted the importance
of planning ahead, some of
the challenges involved in
delivering safe operations
in a remote location and
some of the procedures and
principles developed by BP
for consistently delivering
safe operations, a competent
workforce and good results.
Other highlights included
presentations on safety
in dynamic positioning
operations, real-time
telemedicine for saturation
divers, building a safety
culture, and personal
responsibility for safety.
Occupational health was
also well represented with
presentations on dengue
fever and tick-borne disease
offshore. Delegates took part
in a number of round table
discussions, on ‘preparing
for the unthinkable’, safety
statistics, development of
competencies for offshore
safety advisers, and possible
future work items for the SEL
committee.
As in the past, delegates had
the opportunity to take part
in a number of exciting social
networking events, including
drinks and a buffet supper at
Raffles Hotel and a visit to
the historic Singapore Flyer.
IMCA’s flagship events are
always a great mix of learning,
sharing, networking and social
opportunities.
IMCA safety seminars are
participative events involving
feedback from delegates. This
year’s event was no exception
and its success was due in no
small part to the participation
and enthusiasm shown by
delegates. Overall, everyone
agreed that the seminar was a
great success and showed that
safety is indeed our common
language – across company,
discipline, regions, culture
and up and down the supply
chain. Planning for next year’s
seminar, which will take place
in northern Italy, is already
underway. NH

IMCA on the Road
A team from the IMCA secretariat was available for members
on the IMCA stand at Oceanology International 2010, this
year’s ocean technology show at the ExCeL exhibition centre
in London’s docklands. At the same time, members of the team
provided logistical and administrative support for IMCA’s biannual Europe & Africa Section meeting, and for the recent wellattended ROV seminar – both held during Oceanology week.
IMCA technical team members supported a stand at February’s
Subsea Tiebacks in Galveston, Texas and were back in the
United States in May for the Offshore Technology Conference
(OTC) in Houston, Texas where Technical Advisers Nick
Hough and Paul Evans manned the IMCA stand. NH
IMCA Golf Day Tees-Off! Secretariat Continues to Grow
IMCA’s annual golf day in
Aberdeen can mark the
beginning of the Scottish
summer and it did again this
year with some beautiful
weather, a lovely course
and some tasty scores. Andy
Hicks of Subocean Group
won the IMCA Quaich
with an individual score of
39 points, Abermed won
the team prize with an
aggregate of 131 points and
Alan Duncan of Intermoor
Marine Services won the skins
competition with 21 skins.
There was a long list of other
prizes awarded this year by
IMCA Vice-President, Andy
Woolgar, of Subsea 7.
The shot-gun start
accommodated all the teams
and Newmachar Golf Club
looked after members and
guests very well at our sixth
event. HW
IMCA Recruiting a New Offshore
Operations Professional
IMCA is planning to recruit a new offshore operations
professional to support the six-strong technical team in the
secretariat in London.

activities including: preparing reports relating to industry good
practice; drafting and managing IMCA projects; committee
work; liaison with member companies, government and
international agencies.
Candidates should have significant experience and knowledge
of offshore operations and first class written and verbal
presentational skills. A formal (or by experience) professional
engineering/marine qualification would be preferred.

Kylie Griffiths joined IMCA in
February as the Operations
Support Manager. Originally
from Australia, Kylie first
moved to the UK in 2002 to
use London as a base for her
many travels and she has since
made it her second home. Her
responsibilities are twofold:
firstly to manage the support
services team and their work
for the secretariat and members; secondly to assist, advise and
support the Chief Executive and Technical Director.
Kylie’s previous management and accounts experience and
support roles in an international training company makes her
the ideal person to oversee IMCA’s support services team as
membership numbers continue to grow and its varied work
increases. KG/ABu
Insurance Workshop
Following its successful workshop on offshore construction
insurance last year, IMCA moved the debate forward at a
further workshop for oil companies, underwriters, brokers,
marine warranty surveyors, contractors, consultants and
lawyers. Re-visiting the Royal Automobile Club in London
on 15 April 2010, the attendee list was longer and the
programme increased in scope.
After several presentations there was a workshop with
pertinent discussions from all of the attendees about
significant aspects of the current offshore construction
insurance market and construction contracts and their
combined effects on stakeholders.
Over 100 people attended, and there were lively
discussions that identified a number of common areas of
interest. Many of the attendees noted that this was the only
forum that could collect such a useful group together from
the insurance market and the offshore industry and the
intention is to continue providing this facility. PW

IMCA held a one day competence seminar at the
Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Centre on 24 March
2010, attended by nearly 80 delegates. This well received
event was aimed at personnel involved in implementing
competence. It addressed the importance of competence, how
to encourage participation offshore, assessing and verifying
competence, and managing and administrating competence.
There were presentations from speakers with a number of
different perspectives, including clients, regulators and offshore
personnel. This competence seminar was arranged in ‘banquet’
style – a very successful first for an IMCA competence event
– where delegates were able to hold constructive table-based
debates, developing answers to a number of questions posed by
the speakers. Some of these questions included:
u How do we clarify the definition of competence to
all stakeholders?
u What are the actual and perceived benefits of
competence to the offshore workforce?
u What are the particular issues/challenges for transient
workers?
A short address from Steve Sheppard, chairman of IMCA’s
Competence & Training Core Committee, concluded the
workshop, bringing together the variety of themes and
viewpoints that had been heard. The feedback from the tablebased discussion is being taken forward for consideration and
further action by the Competence & Training Core Committee.

Award-winning IMCA
IMCA was delighted to be
awarded the ‘Best Maritime
Organization’ award by
Marine BizTV at its fourth
International Maritime
Awards event on 19 April
2010 in Dubai. The trophy
and certificate were received
by Roy Donaldson, Topaz
Marine, Chairman IMCA
Middle East & India section.
HW
Freelance and agency personnel form an important part of
the offshore workforce. Some time ago IMCA developed a
competence information pack setting out the background
to IMCA’s guidance and providing additional guidance for
various safety critical positions in ROV and offshore survey.
The aim is for freelance personnel to be able to assemble
a portfolio of evidence, containing work records and
details of assessments, which can be provided to potential
employers in a common format that can be recognised
and understood by IMCA contractor members. Since the
IMCA competence guidelines covering ROV and offshore
survey positions have recently been revised and updated,
the freelance packs are to be similarly revised. During this
review the opportunity will be taken to see if the packs can
be made more user friendly. JB
Competence DVD
With the recent
Competence workshop
focusing on ‘getting the
message across’ the C&T
committee has decided
that it would be useful to
develop a short DVD on
this topic which can be
shown offshore. A small
workgroup has been set up
to develop the DVD which
currently has the working
title Elements of the Jigsaw
Leading to Competence. It is
proposed that the DVD will
cover the need to be able
to demonstrate competence
as well as the roles and
responsibilities of the
various parties involved (the
job holder, the assessor, the
verifier and administrator).

Simultaneous Operations
Simultaneous operations are described in the new publication
IMCA M 203 – Guidance on Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) –
as the potential clash of activities which could bring about an
undesired set of circumstances, resulting in risks to safety and
environment, and damage to schedule and assets, commercial
or financial. SIMOPS is defined as performing two or more
operations concurrently and often involves multiple companies
(oil companies, contractors, subcontractors, vendors), large
multi-disciplined workforces and a wide range of daily, 24hour, routine and non-routine construction and commissioning
activities.
The new IMCA guidance document includes a SIMOPS
flowchart providing a life-cycle model for SIMOPS. Having
stressed the importance of identifying SIMOPS at an early
stage before the work commences, it is structured to reflect
the order of SIMOPS activities from identification through the
planning, execution and management of such activities. JB

Personnel Transfer
Safety Statistics
The safe transfer of personnel
from the shore to offshore
vessels and other worksites
has been and remains an
area of particular focus for
IMCA members. During
2009 the SEL committee
developed guidance on the
safe transfer of personnel,
based on a wide range of
sources including members’
own established techniques
for safe operations. The
document includes guidance
on the most commonly
used forms of marine crew
transfer, including small
boats, personnel baskets, and
gangways and ladders and has
been published as IMCA SEL
025 – Guidance on the Transfer
of Personnel to and from
Offshore Vessels. NH
The report on safety statistics
for IMCA members for 2009 is
currently being finalised. This
year, IMCA has received data
from 151 contractor members,
representing over half of the
contractor membership. The
safety statistics exercise is an
important benchmarking tool
providing an accurate picture
of safety performance in our
industry. IMCA is grateful to
all those who have contributed
but still wishes to encourage
even greater participation in
future years.
The preliminary results indicate
that this year there has been
a slight rise in the overall
total recordable injury rate
(TRIR) from 2.50 in 2008 to
2.53 last year, and a slight fall
in the overall lost time injury
frequency rate (LTIFR) from
0.72 in 2008 to 0.66 in 2009.
Of the 393 lost time injuries
recorded by IMCA members
this year, 23% were caused
by ‘falls on the same level’,
18% by ‘struck by moving or
falling objects’, and 14% were
categorised as ‘struck against’.
These are similar to previous
analyses and remain priority
areas for IMCA’s work. NH

Safety Training
IMCA continues to monitor developments regarding the
Australian Common Safety Training Program (CSTP),
which is being introduced for the Australian hydrocarbons
industry, and the UK Minimum Industry Safety Training
(MIST) initiative for personnel working on the UKCS:
u Common Safety Training Program (CSTP) – a two
part scheme which combines an offshore training element with a
workplace assessment of safety behaviour. Required for all new
personnel entering Australian offshore drilling and producing sites
from 6 April 2010, with existing workers to comply within two
years. Marine crews will be exempt for the time being, although if
a vessel has a safety case then the construction crew will need to
have undergone CSTP.
u MIST – a classroom based common safety induction,
which will be managed through the VANTAGE scheme.
Introduced for new offshore starts from 1 January 2010, with a
deadline of 1 January 2011 for existing personnel. Although the
scheme was designed specifically with platform personnel in mind
and is focused on the rig environment, there is still no universal
policy on the treatment of vessel personnel within the 500 metre
zone. IMCA is seeking confirmation from Oil & Gas UK that MIST
will not apply to vessel personnel who remain on board.
Both schemes are aimed at ensuring a common standard of safety
training across the sector, but are not mutually recognised and
are just two more examples of the growing number of regional
training requirements. Industry concerns about the duplication
and cost burden of different training regimes were highlighted
by Hugh Williams in an IMCA presentation to the OGP Safety
Committee at its meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in April 2010.
IMCA has also responded to an Australian consultation on a
competence standard for offshore safety supervisors and, as in
other safety training discussions, has continued to stress the need
for a global approach recognising existing training and competence
frameworks that does not restrict the movement of personnel. EC
Safety Adviser Competencies
The SEL Core Committee has
been working with the C&T
Core Committee on draft
competency tables for the
role of offshore safety adviser.
These were the subject of a
very productive round-table
discussion at the recent
IMCA annual safety seminar.
The discussion addressed a
number of questions designed
to fine-tune the competence
tables to make them as useful
as possible to members’
offshore workforces. The
feedback from the seminar has
been collated and reviewed
with the aim of preparing the
tables for publication. NH

Business Continuity
In the face of disasters, companies need to ensure their survival.
Disasters include weather events such as flood or hurricane, but
a pandemic could be a threat too. Companies need to consider
how they would carry on safely and efficiently were a disaster to
strike and knock out fundamental parts of their communication
infrastructure, perhaps through flooding of the IT headquarters,
or remove the ability to communicate or manage, through the
significant absence of personnel due to a pandemic.
IMCA members need to consider this subject in the light of
their own circumstances. This may include the need to continue
communication with and management of a number of sites 24/7,
whether they are a sea-going fleet or shore based facilities.
It would be difficult to write concise guidance for business
continuity planning that would be appropriate for all of our
members, and there is already good guidance available. Thus the
IMCA Security Task Force wrote a high level information note
based on members’ experience and advice from consultants.
IMCA SEL 12/10 is generic but gives some major pointers
toward what considerations should be made when developing a
business continuity plan and links to existing guidance. PW

Asia-Pacific
The section met in Singapore
on 23 February 2010. The
well attended meeting
welcomed a number of IMCA
members from other regions
who were attending the safety
seminar. Mr Chan Hua Fung,
Senior Assistant Director of
the Singapore Workplace
Safety & Health Council, gave
an interesting presentation
on their aim to reduce
the number of workplace
incidents in Singapore. He
identified the recent changes
in the regulatory framework
and the BizSafe campaign. The
next meeting will be in Hong
Kong on Thursday 27 May
2010.
Middle East & India
The section held a well
attended meeting on 19
April 2010 in the Shooting
Club at the Jebel Ali Golf
Resort. Unfortunately, due
to the IMCA secretariat
being grounded in London by
the volcanic ash cloud, the
scheduled presentation on
IMCA’s role at IMO could
not go ahead. The meeting
discussed a range of issues,
including the roll out of the
e-CMID and IMCA world-
wide technical activities, and
considered possible topics for
future presentations to create
a more interactive format
for meetings. Kris Chambers
indicated his intention to
step down as Vice-Chairman
following his move from
Global Industries. He has
served as Vice-Chairman since
July 2009 and IMCA members
and staff have thanked Kris
for his contribution in this
important supporting role. An
election for Kris’s successor is
currently underway.
The next meeting is due to
take place on Monday 20
September 2010, possibly
followed by an IMCA regional
briefing seminar in India, to
build on the previous event
held in Mumbai in October
2008.
This year, the IMCA annual
seminar will be returning to
the Middle East, and will be
taking place at the Grand
Hyatt in Dubai on 23-24
November 2010.
North America
The section hosted a one day
marine seminar at the JW
Marriott Hotel in Houston on
21 April 2010, entitled Marine
operations – self-regulation and
standardization. The event
including presentations
and workshops attracted a
wide range of members and
guests and stimulated a great
discussion. Actions such as
further liaison with clients
and other bodies like the US
Coast Guard in the region
will be taken forward by the
section.
This event took place the
day after a ‘normal’ section
meeting. But the meeting’s
agenda was spiced up
with four well-received
presentations from members
focusing on: diving, CMID
vessel inspection, safety in the
region and possible changes to
the Jones Act (following last
year’s withdrawn proposals).
Central & South America
The first formal section
meeting was held on 7 April
2010 at the Windsor Barra
Hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
The event coincided with
local floods, so several
members could not join the
meeting, but nevertheless
the attendance was very
good. This carried forward
momentum from the briefing
session, annual seminar and
elections as reported in
previous
newsletters.
The section wishes to
establish local liaison and
dialogue relevant to members’
marine operations and to
that end it is choosing local
representatives to sit on the
six IMCA worldwide core
and technical committees,
and working reciprocally
with IBP (Instituto Brasileiro
de Petróleo, Gás e
Biocombustíveis). This will
include IMCA being a sponsor
for the prestigious Rio Oil &
Gas event in September.
Europe & Africa
The latest section meeting
took place alongside the
Oceanology International
exhibition at London’s ExCeL
on 10 March 2010. There
were the usual updates for
members and guests on
the current IMCA work
programme.
The next section meeting will
be in the autumn of 2010,
perhaps alongside a workshop
or seminar on marine
renewables.

Brazilian Diving Certs
Annual Seminar Workshop
on Diving Health Issues
A lively debated workshop on diving health issues at
the IMCA annual seminar in Rio de Janeiro raised a
particular concern over operational procedures for
medical technical equipment such as ventilators and
defibrillators in an HeO2 environment.
Delegates discussed the requirements of DMAC 28 for
contingency planning for hyperbaric surgical intervention
and also discussed medical intervention equipment,
agreeing that it was difficult to identify suitable equipment
(such as ventilators, syringe drivers and infusion devices)
which could be used in saturation. It was recognised that
manufacturers did not test and approve equipment for
use in hyperbaric environments, which made it difficult to
identify suitable equipment
It was suggested by delegates that IMCA could look at
the possibility of identifying a list of equipment which its
members had sourced and risk-assessed for suitability in
saturation chambers – a suggestion which became an action
item for the Diving Division Management Committee who
have formed a workgroup to take this work forward. PE
World-wide Diving Statistics
The previously reported work on the gathering of world-wide
diving statistics is now nearing completion with the information
note now in draft form for approval by the DDMC.
The statistics have been broken down by diving personnel
category and regional section activity and hope to give a good

Diver Medic Scheme
IMCA D 020 – IMCA scheme
for recognition of diver medic
training – guidance for training
establishments – was issued
over ten years ago and is now
under revision and updating as
appropriate.
Training establishments
approved to provide the
IMCA Diver Medic courses
have been contacted to
provide their input to this
review process. As the handson training providers, their
involvement in this process is
considered key to keeping the
course terminal objectives up
to date.
Feedback has now been
received and is being collated
so that the review and update
of IMCA D 020 can be
progressed. PE
Although IMCA is not directly
involved in the training
of divers our members
are obviously concerned
with ensuring the proper
competence of such safetycritical personnel. IMCA has
over the years developed a
list of IMCA recognised diver
training certificates for those
working offshore world-wide.
The list sets out government
approved diving training
certificates not individual
diving school certificates.
Recently IMCA has been
working with the Brazilian
regulatory authorities with
regard to initial diver training
there. All diver training,
including that for commercial
divers, is regulated by the
Brazilian Navy. As a result of
IMCA’s review of the diver
training undertaken in Brazil
and the auditing process of
the training undertaken by the
Navy, IMCA has now updated
its information of recognised
diver training certificates to
include Brazilian diver training
certificates. These certificates
are IMCA recognised where
supported by a Brazilian Navy
stamped divers logbook. JB

IMO Update
Special Purpose Ships
(SPS) Code
At the end of February the
IMO sub-committee on Ship
Design and Equipment (DE)
considered the classification of
offshore construction support
vessels in light of the 2008
Special Purpose Ships (SPS)
Code. As had been hoped,
the sub-committee noted
the information from IMCA
on the practical obstacles to
building construction vessels
to the 2008 SPS Code and
that the 2008 Code was not
intended for retrospective
application. DE also agreed
that there was not a need
to develop a separate code
for offshore construction
support vessels and that the
issues raised by IMCA could
10
be resolved by means of
guidelines or interpretations.
In this respect the
International Association of
Classification Societies (IACS)
offered to develop relevant
unified interpretations for the
sub-committee to consider
at its meeting after next in
2011. The outcome is not
guaranteed, but the IACS
work is expected to help
clarify some of the possible
inconsistencies in the 2008
Code – particularly in relation
to how the new SOLAS safe
return to port requirements
for passenger ships were
intended to apply to special
purpose ships.
In the meantime, members
should note that a number
of governments are applying
the 2008 SPS Code to new
vessels and that some are also
encouraging existing vessels
to comply with the previous
version of the SPS Code.
Members should therefore be
aware that offshore support
vessels carrying non-marine
personnel involved in the main
work of the ship may now fall
under the SPS Code. Most
governments appear to be
taking a pragmatic approach,
but members are encouraged
to discuss vessel classification
with the relevant parties early
on in the process of designing
a new vessel or changing flag
or area of operation.
Atmospheric Emissions
Despite the slow progress
of the UN climate change
discussions, IMO has been
stepping up efforts to
develop measures to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions
from shipping. In April IMO
provisionally agreed new
requirements for the Ship
Energy Efficiency Management
Plan (SEEMP), for monitoring
an individual ship’s energy
efficiency, and the Energy
Efficiency Design Index
(EEDI), to set minimum
efficiency requirements for
new ships.
Ship operators will need to
start thinking about updating
their company procedures to
take account of the SEEMP
requirements, which will apply
to all vessels.
The EEDI will initially apply
only to new vessels of
conventional design. Existing
vessels, non-conventional
vessel types and those with
diesel electric propulsion
will be excluded for the time
being. However, members
may wish to confirm with
their flag states that new
offshore vessels with cargo
ship or passenger ship
exemptions will not be
expected to meet the design
efficiency requirements for
those conventional vessel
types.
Lifeboat on Load Release
Hooks
To address accidents involving
lifeboats, IMO is preparing to
introduce new requirements
for the design of on load
release mechanisms for
lifeboat hooks and for the
replacement of mechanisms
that do not meet the new
criteria. However, there is
still not enough information
marine
available about the root
causes of hook failures and
IMCA has joined other
industry organisations in
recommending to IMO that
further work is needed to
ensure a proper functional
evaluation of hook designs.
There are also concerns about
the lack of global coverage
of service providers for the
servicing and maintenance of
life saving appliances and IMO
has requested feedback on
any problems.
For more details on IMO
issues, please contact
[email protected]
IMCA DP Incident Reporting Scheme
The DP incident report for 2008 – or to give it its proper title the IMCA Dynamic Positioning
Station Keeping Incidents Report – is nearing completion. The reporting system is under
review, with the aim of deriving more information and making the report more beneficial to all.
Currently reports are submitted to IMCA, with the vessel owner/operators’ knowledge, where they
are collated and analysed annually. Many members now submit these on their own reporting forms,
eliminating the extra work from transcribing them onto the IMCA form. During 2008 some 111 DP
incident reports were submitted to IMCA. A few of these cannot be used for the report, the various
reasons including the language used not being English and insufficient detail to enable a clear cause to be
established.
As in previous years the incidents and their causes are much the same. During 2008 there were
a number of incidents caused by the inadvertent actions of persons other than the DPO, a timely
reminder that DP operations involve many areas of operation on board the vessel. Of particular note is
the need to ensure that emergency shutdowns and similar devices cannot be accidently operated. There
have also been a number of incidents arising from computer software problems within the DP control,
particularly where the software has been recently changed.
Any members wishing to contribute to the review scheme should contact [email protected]
Crane & Winch Operations Workgroup
The CWO Workgroup
continues to work on a
range of lifting issues. Recent
interest in winch drum design
was taken up by the Deep
Water Operations sub-group,
which ran a workshop in
Schiphol, The Netherlands,
focusing on the issues arising
from retrieval of loads from
deep water. DNV had worked
on a new recommendation
to its operational restrictions
for winches/cranes designed
according to DNV’s rules.*
This led to a meeting between
DNV and a few members
of the CWO where a good
basis of communication was
set up with regard to future
recommendations.
The CWO has also just set
up a ‘Rope Forum’ at which
it is anticipated that IMCA
will facilitate discussions on
the issues that develop from
the use of all types of rope
in the offshore industry. It
will be made open to all so
manufacturers of cranes,
winches, wire and fibre
rope will have a place where
they can meet the users of
their equipment and discuss
issues. Meetings may concern
design issues relating to the
construction and use of large
diameter wire ropes or the
problems associated with the
lubrication of wire ropes in a
heave compensation system.
Others may involve the use
of swivels, terminations,
bending stresses, or the latest
developments in fibre ropes
and the design and use of
their intended winch drums.
The first meeting is expected
to take place in early July
2010 and will be advertised to
members in the normal way
with invitations to particular
stakeholders as required. PW

ROV Workshop ROV Statistics
Over 80 delegates gathered at ExCeL in London on
10 March 2010 for ROV umbilical and handling systems
– the third IMCA ROV seminar and workshop to be
held alongside Oceanology International.
This event was a follow-up to the successful workshop on the
same subject held at the 2009 annual seminar in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. This seminar covered some problems and solutions for
ROV umbilical and handling systems in ever deeper waters and
ever harsher environments around the globe. The event attracted
ROV operators, manufacturers and suppliers, clients, consultants
and insurers, and included presentations on Challenges of ROV
installation on new-build rigs and vessels and on Deepwater ROV
umbilicals. Following the presentations, a series of productive
workshops was held, covering:
u
Feedback from umbilical users to umbilical
manufacturers;
u
Potential ROV-related guidelines;
u
Competence and training in ROV operations;
u
Heave compensation;
u
Umbilical design issues.
Each year IMCA gathers statistical information on the number
of personnel working with ROVs in IMCA’s world-wide
membership. Last year the ROV committee decided that
additional useful information should be sought on the types
of ROV being used (in terms of the classes of ROV defined
in IMCA R 004 – Code of practice for the safe and efficient
operation of remotely operated vehicles). Following submissions
from 31 ROV contractor members IMCA is now preparing an
information note on ROV personnel and vehicle statistics. This
will contain a breakdown of ROV activity into different areas,
such as construction, inspection, repair
and maintenance (IRM), drill support and
cable laying. In 2009 ROV contractors
within IMCA employed around
3500 persons in offshore ROVrelated activities and operated
nearly 600 ROVs. A significant
increase in IRM activities was
observed compared to 2008,
and a slight fall in drill support
and construction activity. NH
Feedback from these workshops was being taken forward by the
ROV committee. NH
Work Programme
The work programme of the Remote Systems
& ROV Division Management Committee
currently includes:
u Developing existing
guidance on diver
mattress handling and
installation published as
IMCA D 042) to include
the handling and
installation of mattresses
by ROVs. Currently
members are working on
some photographs of ROV
mattress handling for the
document;
u Development of an information
note on ROV statistics;
u Contracting Issues – updating of IMCA R 008 –
Terms and conditions for ROV support services;
u Data transmission protocols – members were interested in developing clear
information on the practical use of data transmission protocols, including Ethernet,
RS-232 and RS-485;
u Proposed guidance on ROV installations on rigs and vessels. A finding of the recent ROV workshop was that
IMCA should prepare some form of guidance on ROV installation. Members would be supplying information on ROV
installation on ships, rigs and platforms to Nick Hough for collation and formatting. Any member who feels that they have
something to contribute in this area should e-mail [email protected]

SPOTLIGHT
ON NEIL MILNE
Neil Milne is Vice President of the Life-of-Field and the i-Tech
divisions with Subsea 7 and also serves as Chairman of the IMCA
Remote Systems and ROV Committee. In this article, he discusses
his ‘day job’ and provides a personal insight into the work currently
being undertaken by his committee on behalf of members.
Please tell us about your
company and what it does
Subsea 7 is one of the
world’s leading subsea
engineering and construction
companies servicing the oil
and gas industry. With over
5,000 people globally we
perform a wide spectrum of
underwater construction,
Life-of-Field (LoF) services
and remote operated vehicle
(ROV) intervention activities
from our fleet of 20 DP
vessels.
What is your current job?
I am currently Vice President
of LoF services and i-Tech
with Subsea 7. LoF services
encompass integrity
assurance, intervention and
incremental capex. The LoFs
group brings the functional
capabilities of Subsea 7
together into a portfolio
of services that provides a
flexible menu of services to
help our clients maximise
the returns from their
asset infrastructure. i-Tech
provides ROV services and
remote intervention tooling
services on the world’s fleet
of floating exploration and
production rigs and vessels.
14
How did you get to where you
are in your career today?
I joined the oil service
industry as an engineering
student from Robert
Gordon’s Institute of
Technology on a summer
placement with Subsea
Offshore. I graduated in
Engineering and Oil Well
Technology and returned to
Subsea Offshore as a trainee
data recorder working
offshore for eight years
before moving onshore as
a Diving Project Manager.
I worked in Aberdeen for
three years before I was
re-located to Singapore as
Operations Manager and
latterly Regional Manager
for the Asia-Pacific region.
I then had tours in the UK,
Middle East and Brazil in
various operational and
management roles. During
this period the company
changed hands, merged and
grew significantly eventually
becoming Subsea 7 in 2002.
More recently my career
has been based in Aberdeen
where I was the Managing
Director for i-Tech at its
inception in 2006 recently
moving to my current
position
What do you see as the key
areas affecting the industry at
the moment?
In line with recent
contributors the down-turn
in our industry has been
difficult to manage following
so closely on a period of
rapid expansion. Many
people who had joined the
industry in the period from
the early 2000s had only
experienced growth and
expansion and the events of
2008 probably came as a big
shock to them. Having said
that, my current worry is
how we manage the upturn
which, I feel, is not too far
away. With oil prices stable
and the global economy
– especially in China and
India – recovering quickly,
the need for increased
production will soon trigger
another phase of growth.
The people who have left
this cyclical industry may not
return and the experienced
workforce is edging closer
to retirement. We will see
the same challenges we
faced in 2006 and 2007
with recruiting and training
people in order to meet the
growing demand.
How can these issues be taken
forward?
I think wherever possible we
should try to retain talent
within the workforce and,
despite the cuts we have all
had to make, continue to
retain and train graduates
and other new entrants for
the long term sustainability
of the business. Our policies
and procedures should be
strengthened to ensure
that the growth is managed
safely and that new entrants
and returning personnel are
given the correct training
and tools to hit the ground
running.
How do you think IMCA makes
a difference?
The continued focus
of IMCA on training,
competence and provision
of sound guidelines will
assist the whole industry to
ensure that during periods
of expansion our standards
are maintained. Competency
schemes are an area where
we should channel more
effort in preparation for
growth in our sector.
How do you see the future?
I am optimistic about the
future. IMCA membership,
even during these difficult
times, continues to rise
and many companies are
investing in assets and
technologies to meet
the future challenges of
deepwater operation.

In issue 54 we incorrectly stated that Technip Subsea 7 Asia Pacific had
changed its name to Technip Oceania Pty Ltd. Technip Subsea 7 Asia
Pacific was a joint venture between Technip and Subsea 7 and was officially
dissolved in April 2009 pending completion of all existing projects and
tendered work. Both Technip and Subsea 7 continue to be active members
of IMCA around the world. IMCA apologises for any confusion and
inconvenience that this may have caused.
