Refreshed
A total of 26 professionals ranging from Roustabouts to Barge Masters and Roughnecks to OIM’s,
participated in the event. “These events ensure that personnel are not returning to the industry “Rig rusty” and are refreshed in certain aspects of offshore live”, says Mark. “All of the participants of the course are hopeful of getting back into employment through Atlas very soon”.
