Hope this rig is more safe than it`s sister ROWAN GORILLA VI.

Lack of remotesystem for handling pipes
Lack of firefighting equipment and emergency shut down system
No safety procedures for safety critical equipment
No man-over-bord-rescue boat
Lifeboats not installed the right way, bow direction away from the rig.

Due to this, the Norwegian authorities did not allowed Rowan Gorilla VI to enter the norwegian area in the North Sea

Hello Tomas.
I am glad you like the photo. I have been shipspotting along the New Waterway from 10 a.m till 5.00 p.m. that day, and I have been waiting untill the sun was in a good position. Of course I was lucky that the sun was shining after all.
Regards,
Wil.
