Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Auroradx-Tector

In a significant operational shift, both the 'NAO Prospector' and 'NAO Guardian', managed by Remøy Shipping, are set to change their national registrations from Norway to the British flag. This transition poses a serious threat to the employment of 48 dedicated seamen who may face job losses as a result of this flag change. Remøy Shipping has announced its commitment to mitigate the impact of this decision on its workforce, striving to keep as many sailors employed as possible. The two vessels are part of a fleet of eight supply ships recently acquired by the American company Nao. The new operational strategy indicates that the ships will predominantly be staffed by British and Polish crew members, marking a notable shift in their personnel composition.

In the early hours of July 10, 2014, at 1:40 a.m., the crew at the Oseberg East platform in the North Sea had to abandon their posts and head for the lifeboats following a collision with the supply vessel 'Blue Protector.' The incident occurred when the vessel became entangled beneath the platform's deck, though fortunately, the damage reported was minimal. The crew, consisting of 60 personnel, conducted an orderly evacuation to the lifeboats, where they remained for approximately two hours while the situation was assessed. A thorough inspection revealed no structural damage to either the platform or the Blue Protector, which sustained slight damage to its mast. At 3:42 a.m., the crew returned to their duties, ensuring that operations could continue safely.
