Rig evacuated in security alert
An oil platform in the North Sea is being evacuated in a security alert, it has been confirmed.
It is understood that a total of 539 people are being taken off the facility in an operation involving 14 helicopters. They are being transported to other rigs in the area. The operation, 115 miles off the Aberdeen coast, began at 0920 GMT on Sunday and is being co-ordinated by Grampian Police. A spokesman for Aberdeen Coastguard said it was a "large scale" operation and that two platforms were involved, but that just one was being evacuated from bbc news |
