The Borgsten Dolphin being manoeuvred into the drydock at Nigg in the Cromarty Firth. There-s a lot of history here. The drydock was originally a construction dock, and probably the last object to be built there was the AH01 back in the late 1980s. The rig, Borgsten Dolphin was built in 1975, and like many of the old Aker H3s it has been enhanced by the addition of extra columns, and probably pods on the pontoons. The reason for the upgrades are always so that the rigs can carry more deck load, and get from the operating draft to the trasnit draft and back, safely. Picture by Alistair Morton and posted here on 19th October 2012. |
