Offshore helicopter crew reaches milestone with 1,000 taskings
The crew providing search, rescue and medical support to the North Sea oil and gas industry have reached a landmark 1,000 taskings. Offshore Helicopters Services (OHS) have been funded by a coalition of around 20 oil and gas operators to provide 24/7 search and rescue (SAR) cover to the industry since 2015. Crews regularly train, and respond to around 100 emergency calls for assistance on North Sea installations every year. OHS Managing Director Martin Stubbs said: 'To have completed one thousand tasks over the past ten years is a great achievement for the team. 'They often operate in very harsh conditions, helping people when they are at their most vulnerable. 'The number of tasks reinforces just how vital the SAR service is, and we draw on that experience to ensure we are constantly evolving, using the latest life-saving equipment, and are prepared to respond to incidents at any time.' When an incident happens on an installation, the crew alerts the coastguard, who then get in touch with the Emergency Response Service Centre, coordinated by Petrofac. The team has taken over 12,000 calls made up of muster drills, exercises and real incidents, since its inception in 2006. Graham Brown, Crisis and Response Manager at Petrofac said: 'Collaboration, driven by shared purpose, with the team at OHSUK has been key to safely and successfully delivering one thousand taskings; a milestone the Petrofac team is proud to be part of. 'Whilst we undertake emergency response on a daily basis for our clients, as the SAR Tasking Coordinator, we support the entire North Sea energy industry. 'Seeing OHS continually evolve with the introduction of the new fleet elevates the service provision in support of the sector's safety commitment.' Two new bespoke Leonardo AW139s helicopters will spearhead the SAR fleet as part of their new contract to provide the SAR service for a further decade. Search and Rescue Manager Keith Chalmers said: 'We have the capability to respond to a wide range of incidents to provide a high level of medical care and rescue provision, but in an extreme environment, and get them to a place of safety as quickly as possible.'

Green light for redevelopment at award-winning Ayrshire holiday park
Plans to modernise a fire-damaged holiday park in Ayrshire have been approved. Owners of the Bennane Shore Holiday Park, in Lendalfoot, previously lodged plans to carry out improvement works at their facilities building. The holiday park was hit by a substantial fire in December 2023, forcing the site to close for a time. Now work will get underway to carry out a makeover at the site- after council planners gave the scheme their blessing. The agents in the proposals were Manchester-based Gateley Smithers Purslow and the applicant was Graham Brown, of Bennane Shore Holiday Park. The proposals include: * Modifications to the entrance and reception to provide a 'more modern, striking and welcoming area,' accessible for all with level thresholds * A relaxing outdoor dining space off the Bistro area with an awnings structure to provide 'flexible open and closed spaces' overlooking the Ailsa Craig * An outdoor Spa Relax area within a partially enclosed decked space * Some minor alterations - infilling of external windows and relocation of a fire escape door to facilitate the new changes and: * New cladding to part of the main front elevation. A design and access statement read: 'Bennane Shore Holiday Park is an award winning luxury Holiday Park and Spa. Situated in Ayrshire on Scotland's stunning west coast, it is a seafront holiday accommodation with a luxury, on-site spa and bistro, with panoramic views of Ailsa Craig and Ayrshire's natural coastline. 'Ordinarily it is used as a Holiday Park with a spa facility, bistro and adjacent private residency for the park owners. The Holiday Park is open to members and the general public.' The agents also said that the amount of development proposed 'will not' adversely harm the existing building or setting, but rather 'enhance the service offer' unique to the area. They added: 'There are no major landscaping works proposed other than some adjustments to the ramp access at the main entrance. Two new escape ramps are proposed to the outdoor dining area and Spa Relax areas.' The exterior alterations also include the installation of a mono-pitched retractable roof awning style glazed extension to the rear of the property (to provide an extended outdoor seating area associated with the existing restaurant) and a partially enclosed flat roof timber slatted extension with decking (to the spa relaxation area) to the rear of the building. In approving the plans, subject to conditions, council papers said: 'The proposals will allow the building to be brought back into use and will support the established holiday park business and local economy.'
