N-Sea Celebrates Safety Innovation Award

 

The Safety Innovations Award recognizes excellence in innovative technology and products that have been developed in the UK and which contribute to offshore safety. N-Sea has received the accolade by demonstrating an on-going commitment to safety by upgrading its already-revolutionary TUP Diving System (TUP).

 

Originally developed in 2005, the TUP’s main objective is to provide a safe way to increase workable bottom time, relative to other surface-oriented diving techniques, which is achieved through the combination of unique safety and technical features. N-Sea has taken diver safety to the next level, with a significant system upgrade, taking place in 2014/15. The TUP now provides even further improved diver safety and efficiency through the upgrade of its safety features and the introduction of Nitrox diving from a closed bell.

 

N-Sea’s chief operating officer, Roddy James, said: “Whilst the TUP Diving System has always been unique in the service it provides clients, this most recent upgrade launches it – and N-Sea - into a new league in terms of diver safety and client cost efficiency. Whilst the N-Sea philosophy has always been to produce a “safe, sound and swift” service, at no time in recent years has this been more pertinent to our client relationships than during the past 18 months.”
