The Transocean-Encourage: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

In a recent development, Songa Offshore confirmed that crew members aboard the semi-submersible drilling rig Songa Encourage detected water ingress in the pumproom on the afternoon of yesterday, October 11, 2023. The rig is situated in the Heidrun field in Norway's Continental Shelf, where it was engaged in operations for Statoil. Fortunately, the incident occurred while the rig was inactive due to adverse weather conditions. Officials from Songa Offshore reported that the water leakage has since ceased, and the vessel has regained stability. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the 79 crew members present on the rig. The company has commenced a thorough investigation to determine the root cause of the leakage.
