After a fire that began in the barracks of Hillcorp Alaska’s Baker Platform last Thursday, crews from Nikiski Fire Department and Hillcorp were safe to board over the weekend.
Hillcorp’s Lori Nelson said investigation verified that all storage tanks on board retained their integrity however the future of the platform is unclear.
Nelson: “We’re not making any decisions as far as the Baker Platform is concerned right now, whether or not we’re going to light house or bring production back online for Baker, all of that will be part of the decision process after we recover from this response mode and after we start to clean up efforts.”
Electricians were also able to restore power to the platform generator in order to illuminate the navigation light.
