Would the risk the personnel are exposed to increase or decrease if the need for helicopter shuttling was eliminated due to a different design allowing for periodic manning of the installation? The purpose of this study is to develop a coarse framework, a model, for risk-based concept selection of normally unmanned installations (NUI) in the North Sea by comparison of PLL. The results of the model will be used to indicate, with regards to PLL, whether a NUI should be designed to allow for periodical manning instead of relying on helicopter shuttling to an accommodation platform during.
