I have searched the web but, strangely, cannot find any information about the incident which one would have thought would have been widely reported. The nearest I got was your website and as you appear very knowledgeable about what goes on in Shell then I thought it might be worth contacting you. I have a professional interest in the incident and its background as there are many unanswered questions apart from the obvious attempts to keep it secret.
For example what was OPITO’s role, why are Royal Dutch Shell so agitated by the affair (to the extent they are insisting on draconian global safety measures for all OPITO approved training establishments), why was no action taken against the training centre etc?
Shell are, according to OPITO, aggressively reacting to any questioning of their actions regarding this event. However what OPITO says cannot always be relied upon and there is a suspicion that there are “unusual circumstances” surrounding the event, hence the media blackout.
It would be useful to know not just the circumstances surrounding the fatality but why there has been such a strong reaction on the part of Shell/OPITO.
ANY RESPONSES CAN ME EMAILED VIA [email protected] OR POSTED ON OUR SHELL BLOG.

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.
