The audit was carried out from 1 to 3 April 2025 and is part of our case processing of Odfjell Drilling’s application for an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) for Deepsea Bollsta.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify whether the technical condition, organisation, preparations for operation and relevant documents were in compliance with the petroleum regulations in respect of emergency preparedness.
Result
The audit identified one non-conformity concerning the securing of loose inventory.
The audit also identified improvement points concerning:
- Evacuation analysis
- Signage and marking
What happens now?
We have asked Odfjell Drilling to report on how the non-conformity will be addressed, and for their assessment of the improvement points observed. The deadline for this is set at 9 May 2025.
Before we issue an AoC, the company must have corrected all known safety-critical non-conformities, and the facility must have been issued with maritime certificates from the appropriate flag state.
