Two employees died today in an explosion on the Drilling Ship

Unfortunately, two of the 4 employees hospitalized due to the explosion on the drill ship on the 9th have died

Here is the transcription of the article from Inter TV+Video:

“An employee remains hospitalized in serious condition, around 90% of his body burned at the public hospital in Macaé. Just this morning, the 2nd victim of the accident died. The employee was a technician in inspections and calibration, he had 96% of his body burned. On the same day of the accident, another 28-year-old employee also died.

The vessel had left Campo de Marlim, which is one of the largest oil extraction areas in the Campos Basin, with at least 13 platforms in operation. This same ship was heading to Porto do Açú, in São João da Barra. This vessel was undergoing maintenance at the time of the accident.

In a note, Petrobras said it invests in intensive training to avoid this type of accident and demands the same from supplier companies. She also mourned the death of employee Erick S. Nascimento Freitas.

Odebrecht, which owns the drill ship, also regretted the case and said it is investigating the case and is providing all assistance to the families of the victims.

The company that hired the employees, IMI, also endorses and reiterates what Petrobras and Odebrecht said above.”

Editor's Opinion

That's why it's important to take all safety courses, not to do things “the easy way” and to review all operating procedures before carrying out any offshore activity. We literally live on a ticking time bomb. What you do directly affects the life of the companion on board. So don't give in to pressure, if you can't do the job, don't do it! You have the right to refuse and your life comes first, don't forget that there are family members waiting and dependent on you on land.
