Lamprell wins $64m rig conversion contract

MOS Frontier, a three-legged Type MLT116C multi-purpose jackup rig, is capable of operating in water depths of 300ft and it will be converted into an accommodation support vessel for the purpose of accommodating 290 personnel. The work on this project will be executed at the group's Sharjah facility.

"Lamprell has a well-established track record for undertaking major rig refurbishment projects and so it is pleasing that one of our existing clients has awarded us a new contract for one of the largest refurbishment and conversion projects in our history,” said Lamprell ceo James Moffat. “Rig refurbishment remains an area of traditional strength for the group and it is encouraging to have been selected by MOS for this high profile project."
