The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) recently conducted a review of recent compliance and incident data to identify safety trends throughout the Gulf of Mexico. The analysis pointed to a potential risk associated with fired vessels. From January 2016 to May 2018, 17 fired vessel incidents were reported to BSEE by 12 unique operators. Further, BSEE issued 76 fired vessel-related incidents of non-compliance (INCs) during the 29-month period. To reduce the likelihood of future incidents and compliance issues, BSEE developed a Performance-Based Risk Inspection (PBRI) protocol and conducted targeted inspections of fired vessels on 27 production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico Region over a two-day period in July 2018.
