The rig, to be named Ocean Apex, is scheduled to be delivered from Singapore in the second quarter of 2014. The unit will be capable of operations in water depths of up to 6,000 feet.
Design specifications also include a variable deck load of 7,000 long tonnes, a maximum hook-load capacity of two million pounds, crew quarters capacity for 140 personnel, and a large deck space.
“We are excited about our new project and look forward to working with Jurong Shipyard for an on time delivery of the Apex,” said John Vecchio, executive vice president of Diamond Offshore.
