With a similar design as the "Safe Boreas", which is currently under construction at JSPL, the new unit is said to be the world’s most advanced and versatile accommodation unit, constructed to comply with Norwegian regulations and capable of operating in the harshest environments and with the highest standards of safety.
As the "Safe Boreas", the new rig will be constructed according to the GVA 3000E design and equipped with a DP3 (dynamic positioning) system as well as 12-point mooring arrangement. This will allow for operations in both DP and anchored mode. The unit will have the capacity to accommodate 450 persons in single-man cabins.
JSPL has also granted options for two additional newbuildings that can be designed for either the Norwegian Continental Shelf or for operations outside the North Sea.
