Lamprell/IMI complete first rig collaboration project
Nov. 10, 2023
Lamprell has completed construction and delivery of the first of two newbuild jackup rigs being constructed for International Maritime Industries (IMI).
The Kingdom 1 rig, built by ARO, IMI and Lamprell, is based on the LeTourneau Super 116E design with accommodation for up to 120 people. The second should be delivered in the next few months.
Lamprell has now completed 29 newbuild jackup drilling rigs for various clients.
IMI CEO Dr. Abdullah Al Ahmari said, “Kingdom 1 is a premium and state-of-the-art jackup rig, which is fitted with the latest technologies…
“Constructing this rig in collaboration with IMI’s offshore technical partner Lamprell has provided IMI the opportunity to develop many of our young engineers and technicians and to quickly transfer knowledge to our ongoing newbuild rig campaign within our facilities in Ras Al Khair, Saudi Arabia.”
