Offshore drilling contractor Stena Drilling has welcomed the award of an Abate (P) notation, which DNV has bestowed upon another one of its drillships, following the rig owner’s addition of multiple technical and operational measures to enable the rig to cut its fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The Stena Carron drillship is joining its sister vessel, Stena DrillMAX , in receiving the Abate (P) accreditation from DNV more than a year later, becoming the second Stena Drilling rig to be awarded such a notation. This milestone is said to reflect the rig owner’s commitment to reducing GHG emissions through the implementation of advanced technical and operational measures.
