    Hi steve, this photo is the platform britannia, GSF1 Brittannia is of a different type.
    Hi Bod

    Yes a bit confusing that - two offshore structures with the same name - bet that causes some confusion. Reminds me a story in Newcastle where there were two pubs on the same stretch of road called The Rose And Crown. One day the Manager of one of the Rose and Crown gets a knock on the door and its decorators there to pain the outside of the pub. Knowing nothing about it, he thinks that his Head office must have made the arrangements and forgotten to tell him. So the decorators get on with the job and half way through they realise they are at the wrong Roase and Crown. Obvously they had to finish the job off and the pub got a free do over.

    Right - got the right Platform now - operated by ConocoPhillips - see http://www.conocophi...ages/index.aspx

    We installed that platform with the Thialf, in three weeks.
    The jacket was I think 29,000 tonnes and it is fixed to the seabed with 20 piles each one weighing 600 tonnes, the largest ever used in the North Sea
