MIRI – Sarawak Shell Bhd has commenced operation to salvage a Super Puma helicopter that plunged into Bintulu waters, 11 kilometres before reaching its destination – B-11 gas production platform – on June 18.
A series of technical-logistical and strategic discussions had taken place before mobilisation on the scheduled offshore salvage operation.
The company, an exploration and production arm of Shell Malaysia has less than two weeks time to retrieve the chopper 100 metres below the water surface before its beacon signal fades.
