North Cormorant

The crane barge Balder lifting modules onto the North's deck. You can just see the walkway from the stern of the Balder onto the sub frame of the North, that was some climb from there to the helideck maybe 10 times a day, using wooden ladders between decks.

I worked on the modules in the yard for Malcolm and Allen and on the hook up with Balfour Kilpatrick and later as maintenance electrician with Dietsmann, cracking wee platform, disconnected the wrong cable one day and dumped all gas to the flare, they reckoned they could see our flare on Cormorant Alpha, the OIM kicked my arse (happy days) cheers
