Vessel Description

JAKUP B is an independent leg cantilever jack-up drilling rig built in 1991 by Hitachi Zosen Corporation in Japan. The rig is designed for harsh environment drilling operations and has been predominantly deployed in the North Sea region. Operating under the Faroe Islands flag and managed by Dolphin Drilling, the rig features a three-leg rack and pinion jacking system and a cantilever substructure capable of reaching a drilling depth of 30,000 feet. As a non-self-propelled unit, the rig requires towing vessels for repositioning between locations. JAKUP B has had an operational history spanning several decades serving various oil and gas operators across the European continental shelf.
