Sembcorp Marine’s subsidiary Jurong Shipyard (JSPL) in Singapore has signed a letter of intent with Prosafe for the construction of a semisubmersible accommodation rig.
The rig, which is of similar design as the Safe Boreas under construction at the same shipyard, will be built to comply with Norwegian regulations. A further announcement will be made when the contract is signed.
Jurong also has, subject to board approval, granted two options for further newbuilds, meaning that Prosafe has options for three newbuilds at JSPL. The additional two options can be designed for either the Norwegian shelf or for worldwide operations.
