Drifting Barge Missed Valhall North Sea Platform

Posted by December 31, 2015

A drifting barge has missed BP's Valhall platform in the North Sea by some two kilometres, a spokeswoman for the Rescue Coordination Centre for southern Norway told Reuters.

"The barge drifted past by some two kilometres. The danger is over. There are no other installations between the barge and the coast of Norway," Borghild Eldoen said in an interview.

"It is now up to the owners of the barge to stop it before it reaches the coast."
