Three people killed, one injured in accident at Petronas floating vessel off Malaysia
Petronas said the accident occurred during routine maintenance after a lifeboat fell into the sea, and investigations are ongoing.
- On Saturday, a maintenance accident at the Sepat FSO off Malaysia killed three contractors and injured one, with all four victims transported to a hospital in Kuala Terengganu.
- Petronas confirmed the incident occurred during routine maintenance, not a drill, while local media reports attribute the fall to a parted wire rope or hook system mishap.
- The New Straits Times identified the deceased as Ahmad Fikri Zakaria, 38; Nik Muhammad Hafifi Asri, 37; and Muhammad Faezuan Hakim Mohammad Bustamam, 28.
- Bustamam's wife, Nurkhaeryna Dhania Azreen Khairil Azri, told Sinar that he WhatsApped her the morning of the accident: "This morning he couldn't wait to go home and wanted to take a vacation."
- While the IMO authorized keeping crews off lifeboats during drills to prevent fatalities, routine maintenance remains a dangerous task for offshore contractors, with risks including corrosion, fatigue, and wear.
