Today, we remember the 84 lives lost in the Ocean Ranger tragedy. This devastating event left a lasting impact on families, communities, and the offshore industry as a whole. Their memory continues to remind us of the risks faced by those who work at sea and the importance of keeping safety at the forefront. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones who carry this loss every day. We will never forget. #OceanRanger #NeverForgotten
