Image description

Stavanger 1983: Alexander Kielland - turning/lowering. The "Alexander L. Kielland" platform crashed on March 27, 1980 on the Ekofisk field in the North Sea. 123 people perished. Here are pictures from the trials of turning - and the later lowering in 1983. The platform was lowered with 50kg explosives, and sank at 712m deep in the Nedstrandsfjord, north of Stavanger. Two previous turnaround operations were unsuccessful. Picture: Minister of Trade Asbjørn Haugstvedt and operations manager Bill Forsyth at the wreck of the platform on September 13, 1983
