The 16,000-tonne, 120m long hull substructure for the first Aker H-6e semi-submersible offshore drilling rig was recently completed by Aker Solutions at Drydocks World's Dubai yard.
The hull will be towed to Aker Solutions' yard at Stord on the west coast of Norway, and will be mated with the topside facility and undergo further construction work prior to delivery.
Aker Solutions has designed and is building two H-6e drilling rigs--Aker Spitsbergen and Aker Barents--for Aker Drilling.
