最近三艘大型自升式钻井船第一次放在一条运输船上从苏伊士湾运往墨西哥湾。三条钻井船总重20,000吨。由能源服务公司(Ensco)负责这次创纪录运输的安排和监督。7,200海里航程用了大约一个月时间。虽然“运载”法已使用了七年,但每次最多运载两条钻井船。如今,Ensco迈出了新的一步。公司认为,把几条钻井船放在一艘运输船上作长距离运输,经济上合算,与分别放在驳船上用远洋拖轮拖运相比,运输速度较快,费用较低,也更少危险。承担运输任务的Mighty Servant号,船长
For the first time in history, three large jack-up rigs were shipped from Suez Bay to the Gulf of Mexico on a single carrier. The three rigs weigh 20,000 tons. Ensco is responsible for this record-setting and oversight. 7,200 nautical miles took about a month’s time. Although the “carriage” method has been used for seven years, it carries a maximum of two rigs at a time. Now, Ensco has taken a new step. The company believes it cost-effective to place a few rigs on a single carrier for longer distances and economically cost-effective to transport faster, less expensive and less dangerous than towing on an ocean-going tugboat on separate barges .
