A new growth engine for the shipbuilding industry
A jack-up Rig is a drilling facility used to develop oil fields in the continental shelf. This facility fixes its jack-up legs in the seabed and makes its body float on the sea surface for drilling. As the facility is capable of drilling without being affected by waves and currents, it is used in the areas where the sea is relatively shallow, yet has high waves.
In June 2013, SHI won the order to build the large Jack-up Rig for the North Sea that can drill the seabed up to 10km in 150m deep waters. This jack-up rig is a high-specification facility that can cope with the harsh conditions of the North Sea including its extremely low temperature of -20℃
