Signal Awarded Diamond’s Ocean America

The semisubmersible will be drydocked at the company’s Port Arthur Texas yard in early 2009. The vessel will undergo inspections to the anchor chain and propeller shaft, piping modifications, sacrificial anode replacements as well as new paint for the hull and derrick.

Dick Marler, President and CEO of Signal commented: “Special Survey work to help our customer keep his vessel in class is an essential segment of Signal’s core business.  We are gratified that, once again, a returning customer rewards Signal’s past performance with additional work.”
