Arrival of the Rig Mover β Rise of the Rig Movers | Episode 1
Welcome to Episode 1 of Rise of the Rig Movers β a series about the crew that moves jack-up drilling rigs.
In this episode, the Rig Mover arrives on board the jack-up drilling rig by helicopter. After landing, he goes through the safety briefing and meets the O.I.M. and the Drilling Supervisor for the first time.
From there, the Rig Mover transfers to the main tow vessel via personnel basket for the pre-tow inspection. On board the vessel, he briefs the Captain and the Chief Engineer β then walks the deck and engine room with the Chief Engineer to inspect the engines, generators, towing winch, towing pin, and camfork.
This is the first step of a jack-up rig move: the Rig Mover takes command before the tow begins.
