EFC Group has completed a $2.2million contract to design and build a BOP and diverter control system for China-based Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Offshore Co (DSIC Offshore).
The system is installed onboard DSIC’s newbuild jack-up drilling rig, JU2000E-13 for drilling contractor Apexindo, where it will be known as Tasha.
Bob Will, CEO at EFC Group, said, “This is a major contract for EFC, continuing our growth plan to become world class leader in control systems for both rig upgrades and new builds alike. It is also a significant project that’s been supported by our manufacturing base in Forres which gives us the additional capacity required to undertake projects of this scale.
Will added, “EFC aims for this to be the start of a strong relationship with DSIC. In the ne build market as a whole, we know there is a high demand on shipyards and their current vendors to delivery on time and on budget and we have invested in our facilities and resources to support this.”
