Australia's offshore safety authority said it is investigating the country's first offshore fatality in five years, with the recent death of a worker on board a floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessel at the Legendre oil field off Western Australia. The death occurred on Dec. 24 on the FSO Karratha Spirit, operated by Teekay Shipping. The accident happened during disconnection of the vessel from its mooring buoy in response to Tropical Cyclone Billy, said the National Offshore Petroleum Safety Authority.
