“We are very pleased to have secured long-term work for the Mærsk Deliverer, significantly increasing our contract backlog in this segment. The Ichthys LNG Project, operated by Inpex, is one of the largest resource projects in Australia and we look forward to supporting a successful operation for Inpex and joint venture participants ,” said Jørn Madsen, CEO of Maersk Drilling.
