Woodside Energy Global notified NOPSEMA of a dangerous occurrence at the Pyrenees offshore facility in Western Australia on 20 December 2022, involving a blown fuse on pedestal crane #3 during routine cargo handling operations on 19 December 2022. The fuse failure caused the crane to trip while the boom was positioned over water, though no load was suspended on the hook at the time. The fuse was replaced and the crane restored to operational status. NOPSEMA escalated the incident to level 1 inspection on 21 December 2022, categorising it as damage to safety-critical equipment. Woodside's initial report, submitted ahead of the due date, indicated a root cause analysis and five-why investigation would be conducted jointly by onshore support engineering, a third-party vendor, and facility crew to determine the underlying cause of the fuse failure.
