The rig is scheduled for delivery in 1Q 2011 and will be based on a similar design and specification as the semi-tender currently under construction at Keppel. The new unit is being marketed for harsh environment and deepwater drilling operations in combination with floating wellhead platforms such as TLPs and spars.
