SunnmĂžre trawler involved when oil workers became âseagull-boundâ in the North Sea
Photo: PĂ„l Roaldsnes
The crew on the platform KvitebjĂžrn in the North Sea recently had to postpone the journey back to land.
The reason was that the trawler âSynesâ from ValderĂžya has stayed in the Tampen area west of Bergen and there has been such good sea fishing that many seagulls and other seabirds have also come to the area. And thus the helicopter on the platform, which is supposed to transport workers back to land, could not take off.
PĂ„l Roaldsnes told the online newspaper FiskebĂ„t that both âSynesâ and the trawler âNordbasâ were quick to leave the area, when they heard about the problem on the platform.
For the oil workers, there was an hour and a half shorter free period this time.

PS> With their work schedule of 2weeks on/4 weeks off I hope they get over the shock in time to go back to work.
