The drillship is designed for zero discharge. Drain water will be cleaned by a centrifuge system to meet requirements for discharge to sea. Fluids which can not be cleaned
will be stored onboard and sent ashore.

Green rig features:

  • All drain lines routed to central cleaning unit by means of several tanks and pumps
  • Discharge from mud pits by pumping, no gravity discharge
  • Waste management system will be implemented
  • Low NOX emissions, clean design engines
  • Electrical drawworks with power regeneration
