Kishorn Port, in Scotland, Signed a Contract to Visit the World’s Largest Semi-Submersible Offshore Drilling Platform, the Ocean GreatWhite.

Owned by Diamond Offshore, the Ocean GreatWhite weighs 60,800 tons and is a 6th generation unit capable of drilling up to 10,000m in 3,000m of water. With a draft of over 23 meters, the rig requires deep waters for anchoring. The Ocean GreatWhite has made its way from Singapore, via Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, over the past five months, assisted by the Alp Defender, a large offshore supply vessel weighing 5,600 tons. The rig is set to commence a drilling contract in the North Sea in early 2019.

In other words, as previously reported, the Ocean GreatWhite has received a contract from Siccar Point. The contract, for three firm wells plus three option wells, is scheduled to begin in early March and conclude in mid-July 2019.

According to information from VesselsValue, the rig is currently located in the North Atlantic, west of Ireland, and is scheduled to arrive at Loch Kishorn on December 29, 2018.

During its stay in Kishorn, the platform will be prepared for its drilling program, with Ferguson Transport and Shipping providing marine agency and stevedoring support, KPL stated.

Alasdair Ferguson, director of KPL, recently visited the platform in Las Palmas and remarked: “I was genuinely impressed by the sheer scale of the Ocean GreatWhite. We hope that the berthing and support of the platform in Kishorn herald a new era of involvement in the oil and gas industry in Kishorn.”
