(File photo courtesy PTTEP)Offshore rig workers in the South are prepared to make rapid evacuations in the event of treacherous seas and high winds whipped up by an approaching depression. Evacuations would happen if the sea and wind conditions become unsafe, and could be carried out at short notice at any time -- day or night. Sources in the petroleum drilling operations in Songkhla said current conditions do not hinder work on the platforms. If the conditions become unsafe, evacuations would be ordered immediately, they said. Langsuan River water levels rose, but had not reached a critical level.
