Tommy Campbell President joined colleagues from Unite and offshore branches to lay the wreath on behalf of Aberdeen TUC.
Tommy said, “On the sixteenth anniversary of the Bond offshore helicopter fatal accident off the coast of Peterhead our thoughts are still with the families, work colleagues and friends who are still affected by this horrific fatal accident.
"It should never be forgotten that the helicopter operator was supposed to replace part of the gearbox just a week before this fatal accident. They failed to do so due to a lack of communication with the aircraft manufacturer Eurocopter.

"Had the helicopter operator taken precautions including following agreed procedures and communications these deaths could have been avoided."
Aberdeen TUC continues to support all the offshore based Trade Unions who are still demanding a full public inquiry into helicopter safety in the UK offshore oil and gas industry.
