Drydocks World to repair Shelf Drilling rigs

Drydocks World, the international service provider to the shipping, maritime, offshore, oil, gas, and energy sectors, has been chosen to carry out the drydocking and repairs of the jack-up "High Island IV" for Shelf Drilling, one of the major players in the shallow water drilling market, and owners of 40 rigs worldwide.

Drydocks World-Dubai has a successful past with Shelf Drilling, previously completing a variety of work on six their rigs, ranging from Saudi Aramco specifications to major upgrades and re-activation.

The contract signing for the "High Island IV" was held in Dubai Maritime City in the presence of Khamis Juma Buamim, Chairman of Drydocks World and Maritime World, and Kurt Hoffman, Chief Operating Officer of Shelf Drilling, in addition to senior management staff from both companies.

The Drydocks World Rig Division has successfully delivered many projects and is working on implementing an action plan to be the region's full service destination to all offshore work requirements and engineering solutions.

Buamim stressed the importance of maintaining a strong commitment to providing services that meet the highest international standards in the field of operational excellence.

Commenting on Drydocks World success, Buamim said: "We have already surpassed the target set for this year in terms of orders for rig drydocking, repairs, and refurbishment. We look forward to increasing our achievements as we embark on another project with Shelf Drilling, furthering our strategic alliance, and continuing to provide services which adhere to the highest standards in international operational excellence."
