BREAKING NEWS:

Our newsroom has received an audio recording reportedly from the bridge of the Skandi Logger, broadcasting a Mayday distress call and an order to abandon ship near the P-37 platform in the Marlim field. The vessel’s position has been confirmed.

Sources at the scene report that the vessel is already receiving assistance and connected for towing. The situation appears to be under control. At this stage, there is no confirmed information of any injuries or casualties.

In contact with our team, DOF said:

“DOF reports that, in the early hours of Wednesday (22), the Skandi Logger experienced an electrical short circuit, with no open flame, in its main switchboard while operating alongside the P-37 platform in Brazil’s Campos Basin.

The company responded immediately to the incident and is providing full support to the onboard crew, while also coordinating and planning the operation to release the vessel from the field and carry out the necessary repairs.

No injuries were reported among those on board, and, at this time, no environmental impact has been identified.

The vessel remains under control, and DOF continues to monitor the situation while taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety of personnel, the environment, and the operation”

We are seeking further details from Brazilian Navy and will provide updates as information becomes available.
