LONDON (MarketWatch) — Royal Dutch Shell PLC was told in November to improve safety on its Clipper 48 natural gas platform in the U.K. North Sea after failing to comply with its own maintenance strategy, according to a U.K. safety regulatory disclosure.
“Shell have failed to implement a suitably resourced maintenance regime to achieve compliance with their own maintenance strategy,” the Health and Safety Executive, or HSE, said in a filing dated Nov. 11, 2006.
The document gave until Dec. 22 for Shell to comply. Shell couldn’t immediately comment.
The HSE said the failure “has lead to excessive backlog of maintenance activities for safety critical equipment and non safety critical equipment leading to poor working order and repair of equipment.”
Shell was fined GBP900,000 in 2005 after admitting health and safety breaches, including failing to carry out a risk assessment on the Brent Bravo platform, after the 2003 deaths of two men on the facility.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
