This was the Petrobras unit where the unfortunate accident occurred, in which one worker died and five were hospitalized due to the consumption of ethyl alcohol, motivated by a moment of relaxation on the part of the crew. The staff is due to arrive in Angra in a few days, more details can be found here. The accident took place in South Africa, more specifically in the city of Durban, around 51 kilometers away from the coast.
The unit impresses anyone who crosses the bridge and sees a colossal project like this one. The P-70 was towed using the dry tow system by BOKA VANGUARD, from BOSKALIS. This cargo transport ship was created specifically to transport cargo of this nature, reducing the logistical travel time by more than 1 month. A follower shared a photo with us, check it out below:
