GE technologies onboard the rigs include dynamic positioning, automation, drilling drives, MV 7000 propulsion drives, power management system, vessel management system and thruster assisted mooring system.

After the dry-docking, the company will continue to provide remote technical support.
Yongqiang Shao, deputy general manager of CIMC Raffles, said: “GE will not only carry out the required maintenance activities on the two vessels, but will also be assisting with the supervision of the activities throughout dry-docking. We are impressed by GE’s technical and operational finesse and look forward to working with them in the long term.”
