DRILLSHIPS
So what is a Drill Ship?
Drill ships have a broadly conventional ship's hull, but also feature a large aperture, known as a "moon pool", through which drilling takes place. Either purpose built, or converted from some other use, drill ships can be moved easily between locations. They can carry large stocks of supplies, but are not as stable as semi-submersibles. Drill ships use either anchors or dynamic positioning to maintain station. The latest drill ships can operate in 1,500 meters of water.

There maybe other drillships that the above companies operate and contract, however these are the main drillships that they operate. If you have a particular drillship that you would like me to place a link to, please let me know and I will try and place it on this page in due course.
