Woodside Energy Global's Pyrenees offshore facility reported a dangerous occurrence on 19 October 2022 when a manual pedestal davit crane damaged a 24-volt cable connected to a valve limit switch. The incident was notified to NOPSEMA on 24 October 2022, five days after occurrence. The immediate cause was identified as lack of understanding of the turret interface between the FPSO hull section and the geostationary turret section. NOPSEMA escalated the notification to Level 1 inspection on 25 October 2022. Woodside isolated the 24-volt power, repaired the cable, and implemented corrective measures including directional arrows to guide operators to store the davit in a seaward position to prevent future damage. The incident was classified as OHS damage to safety-critical equipment.
