Icedbs Turbocharged December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 (edited) Wonder if it is a new rig built at the shipyard or an old rig coming here for repair... Looks like a repair because normally for a new rig, by the time they pull it out to the wharf side from the dry dock, the hull would have been painted. I did a repair and 2 new build oil rigs after graduation long time ago. But this incident is strange. Normally when a rig is tilted this way, it's because one of the legs hit a gas pocket during drilling. But for it to happen at our shipyard wharfside is rare.
