A whistleblower told the Daily Record that tensions are rising among Scottish staff based in Denmark
Hundreds of offshore workers face being stranded on rigs this Christmas after an oil firm allegedly refused to reschedule flights cancelled due to bad weather.
The whistleblower told the Daily Record yesterday that employees of French oil firm TotalEnergies are unhappy with the situation. The worker, who asked not to be identified, said: “After the recent bad weather we have over 600 international contractors – with around 200 from Scotland – stranded aboard the Tyra Redevelopment Project and various other oil rigs.
The oil and gas industry was rocked last week when a worker was killed and another injured in a violent attack on board a rig in Qatar. Christopher Begley, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, was attacked last Monday and was sent back to Scotland to recover. “We would all be snookered as there’s no helicopters available to get us off of here, and they’ve cancelled all the choppers that were due to fly out out on Monday as well.”
