As Master of the West Neptune, it is with a heavy heart that I write this message. We have lost someone truly special off this drillship, and the weight of this loss is felt deeply by all of us. Mr. Garret Ellisor's life was taken early, leaving behind his wife and young children.

In times like these, words often fall short, but I want to extend my deepest sympathies to his wife, family, and also his fellow shipmates, who have become his offshore family.

Our colleague was more than just a coworker; he was a friend, a role model, and a source of inspiration. His contributions to our team and the positive impact he had on our lives will never be forgotten.

We are here for one another, and together, we will find the strength to honor his memory.
