Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) is investigating an incident where a person fell overboard from Scarabeo 8 on the Goliat Field in the Barents Sea on Feb. 20, according to a news release.
After being recovered by the Esvagt Aurora, the person involved was sent to Hammerfest Hospital with minor injuries. The area around the accident site has now been cordoned off and activity suspended, PSA said in the release.
Among other objectives, the PSA investigation will seek to clarify the course of events and identify the direct and underlying causes of the incident.
