Narrative:
I was flying the international relief officer position. I was on my crew rest break when I was called back to the cockpit and advised that we had an EICAS message - rt oil filter. We were over the atlantic ocean at FL310. We ran the appropriate checklists which led to an engine shutdown. We declared an emergency with control and diverted. We landed overweight. The passengers and crew deplaned normally. The captain did a great job running the cockpit and flying the aircraft.
