KUALA LUMPUR: An investigation into the incident involving an offshore support vessel ‘making contact’ with platform structures in the Baram field, 14 nautical miles from Miri at 6.23 am yesterday, is currently underway, Petronas said.
The company, in a statement yesterday, said that all relevant authorities had been informed of the incident.
“Our highest priority is the safety of all personnel involved. At the same time, we will continue to ensure a reliable gas supply to consumers in the event of gas supply interruptions.
“Petronas is deeply saddened by the incident and we would like to extend our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased,” he said.
Previously, the MV Dayang Topaz, a vessel owned by DESB Marine Services Sdn Bhd, was conducting operational work on the Baram platform for Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, when it made contact with the platform structures after its anchor cable gave way during the adverse weather.
The statement also said there were 187 people on board at the time of the incident, after which 125 of them jumped overboard.
The affected crew members were eventually rescued by emergency services and evacuated to Miri. – Bernama
