A mainstay of the HEVILIFT fleet, the Sikorsky S-76 is an American made medium-size utility helicopter. With a legacy for safety and reliability, the S-76 is commonly used for offshore oil and gas operations. HEVILIFT has been utilising this aircraft for the past several years.

The operation has five HEVILIFT crew, consisting mainly of pilots who operate continuously around the clock to ensure that all Chevron’s requirements are fulfilled.
HEVILIFT has had the privilege to be involved since the inception. Like any new contract, there were challenges involved with the initial set up, operationalising the terms and mobilising an aircraft are always important. The team overcame this, as they always do, by following the management of change and diligently rolling out the new project. The contract has been extended several times due to the high level of service provided by the HEVILIFT team.
