Crew member tested positive for coronavirus after medevac

The Hurricane Energy PLC’s (LON:HUR) Lancaster oil field has been struck by the coronavirus with a crew member on the 'Aoka Mizu' testing positive for the virus. He was evacuated from the vessel located in the West of Shetland region, offshore Scotland by a flight which left Sumburgh in the night of March 25, 2020, to the mainland for medical reasons and subsequently tested positive. The crew member was transported onshore by an HM Coastguard helicopter and was now receiving medical treatment. Production operations have not been affected. Hurricane is supporting Bluewater Lancaster Production (UK) Ltd, installation operator of the Aoka Mizu FPSO, with its response. Bluewater was working within the guidelines provided by NHS Scotland, Health Protection Scotland, and Oil and Gas UK in determining the next steps. The FPSO houses up to 84 people.
