Hitachi Zosen Receives

Jackup Drilling Rig

Order From India

Hitachi Zosen recently received an order to build one cantilever type mobil offshore jackup drilling rig. The order came from the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) of India.

This drilling rig is the third of its type built by Hitachi Zosen for

ONGC, and is to be used as a re- placement for a previously built rig, the Sagar Vikas. After the new rig is completed in January 1985, it will be used to drill for oil in the Bombay High waters.

The rig will have a length of 216.54 feet, breadth of 200.14 feet, and depth of 22.96 feet. It is capa- ble of operating in waters of up to 91.4 meters deep (300 feet), and can drill to maximum depth of 6,096 meters (20,000 feet). It is de- signed to withstand waves of up to 18.6 meters high and wind speeds of up to 54 meters per second; thus the rig is ensured stable operation in severe weather and sea conditions.

The rig is classified by ABS. 14 MarineSafety Training

At Sperry, we know how im- portant it is to listen. We've been listening to the marine industry around the world for over 70 years. As a result, we under- stand the challenges facing you today.

We understand the eco- nomic and competitive necessi- ties to be ever more efficient, more cost effective, more profit- able.

We understand the envi- ronmental and regulatory im- peratives to sail cleanly and safely within tight, new operat- ing parameters.

We understand that tomor- row these challenges will become even more formidable, more intense.

But most importantly, we under- stand the advanced tech- nologies required to develop the new systems your ships and fleets will need to meet these chal- lenges successfully.

We understand because we've been listening.

A DECADE-PLUS

OF SPERRY LEADERSHIP.

I

Sperry developed the digi- tal computer. And we've been a leader in developing computer- based systems for naviga- tion, command and control ever since. We intro- . duced the world's first family of computer- based collision avoidance sys- tems more than a decade ago. In their years at sea, these systems have proven them- selves in the only way that matters-helping merchant ships of every description pilot safely through the world's busiest harbors.

Moreover, our leadership in computer-based technology has proven itself versatile enough for a wide number of specialized applications- including cable
