It is known that the pandemic is affecting the operations of offshore operators and service providers; personnel logistics strategies to avoid the proliferation of Covid-19 are the main battleground adopted by them so that their workers and families do not suffer so much from the problem while there is still no vaccine.

In recent weeks, with numerous reports and communications regarding the arrival of the virus aboard offshore production platforms, workers are concerned about contaminating their families, but there are complaints about the control measures adopted by companies so far.

It seems that the logistics strategy for the boarding and disembarkation of workers has changed, but previously Modec and other oil companies adopted 15 days of quarantine in a hotel and 28 days aboard. As there is suspicion of the virus, disembarkations are happening earlier, which is where the problem lies. Read the account below:

I wanted to pass on some information; I am onboard the MV 22, and there is suspicion of Covid-19, the contractors are being disembarked.

My outrage is that before going up, we are spending 15 days in quarantine and being tested, and 28 aboard.
However, in this case, I only stayed 4 days; I am disembarking today, the contractors are being disembarked because there is a suspicion of the virus onboard, and it is outrageous, as we asked to undergo quarantine in the hotel and testing before going home and it was denied, potentially putting our families at risk.

We have sent an email to Modec’s press office, and as soon as we receive a response, we will update the post regarding the new logistical procedures.
