Mr Hadland highlighted the resilience and commendable attitutde of Geo Natuna’s marine and seismic crews on challenging shallow water prospects in Egypt and India, stating, “This award reflects the hard work of all crew members”. Captain Dadwall responded, “it has all been about working as a team”, raising the vessel’s unofficial motto , “One Natuna One Family” as reflection of this.
