First for Frigg – a Rigwatcher change-out

There can be few Aids to Navigation (AtoN) as remotely located as the three Rigwatcher units marking the decommissioned Frigg Field on the UK/Norwegian median in the North Sea.

The AtoN had to be lowered onto a 2m steel pillar mounted onto a 20m tower in the sea, which was not visible to the pilots.
