They actively participated in Transocean’s safety culture. In addition they displayed a real ‘can do’ attitude and never shied away from participating in work even when outside of their own work scope ... the lads were outstanding and are a credit to your organisation. It was a pleasure to work with them for the 704’s yard stay.
