Advanced Deepwater Technology - DSS™ Series of Semisubmersibles

Designed for maximum uptime with reduced emissions and discharges, the DSS™ Series of semisubmersibles is among the world's most technically advanced deepwater drilling rigs. These rigs can operate at a water depth of 3,000 metres (10,000 feet) and are suited to drill deep and complicated wells of 10,000 metres (30,000 feet).

Rigs in the Series also have distinct ‘double-skin' columns, which protect the critical equipment within from damage by external impact. This greatly reduces rig downtime in the case of hurricanes or strong climatic pressures out at sea. The layout of the engine rooms has also been designed to minimise the potential of both being shut down at the same time in an emergency.

With their robust features, DSS™ rigs are well-suited to operate in the deepwater golden triangle comprising offshore Brazil, West Africa and Gulf of Mexico, and may be further customised to meet the unique challenges of each location.

These well-established DSS™ Series of semisubmersibles are jointly designed by Deepwater Technology Group (DTG) and GustoMSC.
