It is with extreme personal sadness that I must inform you of the death of Chief Engineer Eric Barrowman – who very sadly passed away this morning following a recent illness whilst on leave.
Eric is one of the best known and most respected Marine Engineers to have ever served in the BP fleet – having been with the company since November 1971. Eric had sailed as Chief Engineer for the last 23 years – most latterly onboard British Vantage. During this time, Eric shared his vast knowledge and experience with everyone who was fortunate enough to either sail with him or work with him from ashore. Much admired, Eric’s unrelenting enthusiasm and dedication to his profession has contributed significantly to making BP ships what they are today. He will be sorely missed.
Our thoughts are now with Eric’s family and close friends at this sad time. We will communicate in due course how we can pay our respects
