deepwater horizon owner Transocean was a gusher for BP when the explosion occurred is lax security culture and bad Kit work aboard the deepwater horizon carried oil rig to the last year's explosion drilling, says the US Coast Guard.In a report on the incident, the 11 killed and caused a massive spill, criticized the Agency the practices and training of rig owner Transocean.
It said equipment was poorly maintained and systems did not properly work alerts and automatic switch-off.
A Transocean of spokesman for on Friday rejected the results.
Little more than a year after the accident, the coast guard found published in a 288 page report contain actions of Transocean and the oil rig crew disabled to prevent their ability or to the disaster.
"Deepwater horizon and its owners, Transocean, serious safety management system failures and a poor safety culture had", says the report.
"This record together, interjects serious questions whether Transocean's safety culture was factor, which contributed to the disaster."
' Lax supervision 'Transocean spokesman Brian Kennedy said which reviews the deepwater horizon seven months before the blowout associated press, that the coastguard had and kept it in compliance with the safety standards.
"We strongly oppose - and documents in the possession of the coast guard refuted main results - in this report," he said in a statement.
Overnight on 20 April 2010 broke's Transocean deepwater horizon in flames when drilling a well for BP.
In the following months, more than 200 million gallons (780 million litres of) oil into the Gulf of Mexico from the well, pollution flowed hundreds of miles of coastline in the worst U.S. oil spill in history.
The coast guard cited also lax supervision of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the nation in the Pacific the Transocean had registered the rig.
It testified effectively "Their responsibility inspection had abdicated" of the national regulatory authorities by assigning them to third parties.
'Complacent' crewThe coast guard report said that evidence indicating that the explosion took place is, as electrical equipment a cloud of flammable gas ignited that flowed from the well had.
It said electrical equipment may be unable to prevent ignition been and inspection audit, quoted a 2010 found some equipment on Board was "desperate" in one and "seriously corroded".
"Due to the these deficiencies, there are no guarantee that the electrical equipment was safe and not have the explosions was caused," the coast guard said.
Contributors among defects found in the report:
Gas detectors on the oil rig were not mounted, to shut down the River from the well automatically in case of an emergency, even to close the air flow in the rig engine RoomAudible alarms on some gas, which had switched off detectors in order not to disturb the crew with false AlarmsThe rig fire-fighting system depended, Current water power pumps and rendered useless if the explosions caused a loss of PowerRig crew after routine fire drills had become complacent sometimes from drilling crew ExcusedThe crew were not training drills in response to a well blowout had require rig evacuationOn Wednesday, the first anniversary of the explosion, BP, Transocean for $40 (24 37bn) sued for damages in an attempt the oil company tens of billions of dollars in liabilities in connection with clean-Up and compensation for staff, travel.
Security systems said in Federal Court in New Orleans BP Transocean's deepwater horizon rig had failed. BP sued the manufacturer also claims the rig blowout preventer, that the device could not stopped the large oil slick, which followed the explosion.
Transocean has demanded also court decisions against BP and other companies.
