Under customs supervision, the "SMS ESSA" drilling platform with a total weight of 1,2360.2 tons was successfully delivered for export on the special semi-submersible carrier "Xiangruikou". The next step will be leased to Abu Dhabi, UAE and put into use.
The drilling platform was developed and constructed by Dalian COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. It is an internationally advanced jack-up portable oil drilling platform suitable for use in offshore areas. Due to the expiration of the sanitary control exemption certificate for the platform carrier, and due to the depth of the water and the weather, it cannot call at the port and can only berth at the anchorage.
The customs will intervene in advance after understanding the situation, arrange special personnel to connect with the company, overcome the impact of the epidemic and bad weather, simplify the procedures, and send special personnel to the ship’s "Xiangruikou" anchorage site to supply food and materials for ships, crews and ships according to the application of the company. Carry out quarantine supervision and comprehensive sanitation supervision, quickly handle and issue effective sanitation control exemption certificates to ensure that the Dalian-built drilling platform is delivered and exported on time.
