Our experience with oil and water, mixed well in this mvessel.

Building a drillship calls for a special blend of expertise.

Which is why the Oil and Natural Gas Commission of

India called on Hitachi Zosen to design and construct the

SAGAR V1JAY — a self-propelled, anchor-moored drillship built under license of Gusto Engineering C.V., Holland.

This vessel had to be able to operate in seas as deep as 300 meters. In waves as high as 4.25 meters. And drill down to depths of 6,000 meters.

Requirements that demanded Hitachi Zosen's vast expertise — as a builder of hundreds of ships. As a top

We build industries Hitachi Zosen

HITACHI ZOSEN CORPORATION producer of jack-up and semi-submersible oil rigs. And as a leader in applying advanced electronics to both fields.

Yet in keeping with our experience, we built the SAGAR

V1JAY on time, under the strictest quality controls. And are now, in fact, helping India to construct a sister ship.

So if you'd like either an anchor-moored or dynami- cally-positioned drillship, call on Hitachi Zosen. We can offer what every project needs.

The right chemistry.
