Dockwise has also been selected by Seadrill Offshore for the transport, loading, and discharge of its newbuild CJ70 jack-up rig. Transport will be from Singapore to Norway and is scheduled for 2011. In addition, Dockwise will be transporting the Ocean Scepter, a jack-up rig for Diamond, from the Gulf of Mexico to Brazil and a power barge to Maracaibo in 2010.
André Goedée, chief executive officer: "The Goliat contract is a good example of the type of demand we increasingly see in the Offshore Oil and Gas industry for larger and heavier production platforms.
