Hi everybody, nice picture this tragic event in Offshore Brazil
P 36 the platform was based on a conversion of the Friede & Goldman L-1020 Trendsetter-type semi-submersible. He unit was capable of processing 180,000 bopd and 7.2 million cubic meters of gas per day. There were 175 people on board, at midnight Two massive explosion which killed 10 members and fatally injured one member of the attending fire-fighting crew. The resulting platform damage caused further flooding in the aft starboard column compartments and pontoon tanks, with further sea water entry through the open sea chest valves. The rig sinking in 1300m of water, in Roncador Field RJ Brazil. Thanks share this! |

| She was built as "Spirit of Colombus" at Sestri Cant. Nav. SpA, Genova, Itay and delivered in August 1996. She was rebuilt in Quebec in 1998-1999. According to LR Fairplay's "Sea-Web" database, the keel was laid in 1986 so she appears to have suffered massive delays during building. |

Hi Laurent,
It was either built or refitted in Quebec City. Réjean Fournier (p-36) wrote to me saying that he had worked on it at the Davie Shipbuilding yard. Steve |

| Sad sight... Wasn't she built in Quebec City? I remember the news showing us this platform being loaded on a carrier in Sept-Îles. |

Hi Bill,
The petrobras 36 platform was something special since it was in Sept-Îles (my hometown) in 1999. At the time everybody was talking about it. You don't get to see that every day. To everybody's surprise.. . it sank not even two years after arriving in Brasil. p.s. I just wanted to say that I really like Halifax. I can't wait to go back for another visit! Steve |
