What a fantastic image caught by our Jodi Annette
This week, Jodi is once again delivering industry approved joint integrity training to personnel from Navigator Terminals and while in the area managed to come across this amazing spectacle.
Shell Brent Charlie platform was commissioned in 1978 and has been played a significant role in the UK’s offshore oil and gas production for over four decades up until its decommissioning earlier this year.
Weighing 31,000 metric tonnes, it is the largest one of its kind to be lifted, transported and delivered to land - currently residing at Hartlepool where it sleeps, waiting to be scrapped. Incredibly 97% of this giant will be recycled.
What an impressive feat of engineering.
