Read Authentic Ratings for the Edda-Frende

In a dramatic turn of events on December 12, 2014, the Lomond oil platform in the North Sea was partially evacuated due to a fire aboard the offshore vessel 'Edda Frende,' located approximately 12 miles from the platform. The incident occurred around 6 a.m., prompting the evacuation of roughly 150 personnel from the platform to the Borgholm Dolphin flotel. Concerns arose regarding a potential collision between the burning vessel, contracted by Shell, and the BG Group-operated rig. Fortunately, the fire, which originated in the engine room, was swiftly controlled, and there were no reported injuries among the crew of 14 on the 'Edda Frende.' After containment, the vessel was subsequently taken in tow and is now en route to Aberdeen for necessary repairs. At the time of the incident, the 'Edda Frende' was traveling from Aberdeen to an oilfield within the British sector.
