We fall under the key worker bracket for power and utilities and there are teams of us ready to mobilise if needs be and that includes offshore. | |||

Same here, I'm key worker in the IoT (health devices) / Telco space and we're all as usual. But there are slight restrictions hence my comment on delays.
For the offshore, are the vessels all geared up? Bunny works on off shore wind (not at present mind) and deals with sport chartering etc.
Just curious | |||

Just curious "Yep there are three vessels as we speak doing six week stints opposed to the usual two for turbine support. Flights have been cancelled however the company I work for will still fly in an emergency situation. The TK project which I'm on has been put on hold however we have been allocated FS roles in the mean time. A six week stint will do me fine if I get the chance  | |||

"Fab/Facebook Home of the experts of everything. Now added experts from the energy field How you guys..? H" Alright H, well we are under house arrest. We can’t go for a walk. We can only go shopping and right back home. The police check your shopping to make sure you only get essential food. A woman got fined €500 as her shopping was not essential. People are starting to get pissed off being stuck in your home 24/7 The number of cases are getting very low here. They should let us out even for a walk now. We’re coming up 3 full weeks on lockdown. It’s not doing anyone any good being stuck in side all day every day! | |||

"If you get a generator put a three prong plug on it plug it in to a socket turn your mains fuse off you will power your house that way but only put the very bare essentials on freezer and couple of lights. Don't try this at home kids but does work. " Otherwise know as a suicide lead as if the plug gets unplugged when the generator is running the pins are live, and exposed. It's a good tip but needs to be done with care. Turning the main switch on the fuse board off is also mega important so you dont electricute the person that will be fixing the cause of the power cut. | |||
