Description:

14/04/2016, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Under tow, changing berth position from port side-to, to starboard side-to.
All vessel's propulsive engines out of use.

In temporary lay-up here, after Total Oil terminated a drilling contract offshore the Congo 28 months early, in February this year.
In about a month, this vessel will be towed to Greece for long-term lay-up.
Due to the current downturn in oil prices, the owner of this drill-ship, 'ORIG' (Greek owned), has found itself in a difficult position with two other vessels, including the vessel alongside 'Ocean Rig Olympia', also having contracts terminated, & three recently delivered vessels to pay for.....

Built in 2015 by Samsung, Koje, South Korea (2063).
60,975 g.t. & 59,964 dwt., as 'Ocean Rig Apollo'.
