Hitachi Zosen Receives
Jackup Drilling Rig
Order From India
Hitachi Zosen recently received
an order to build one cantilever
type mobil offshore jackup drilling
rig. The order came from the Oil
and Natural Gas Commission
(ONGC) of India.
This drilling rig is the third of
its type built by Hitachi Zosen for
ONGC, and is to be used as a re-
placement for a previously built
rig, the Sagar Vikas. After the
new rig is completed in January
1985, it will be used to drill for oil
in the Bombay High waters.
The rig will have a length of
216.54 feet, breadth of 200.14 feet,
and depth of 22.96 feet. It is capa-
ble of operating in waters of up to
91.4 meters deep (300 feet), and
can drill to maximum depth of
6,096 meters (20,000 feet). It is de-
signed to withstand waves of up to
18.6 meters high and wind speeds
of up to 54 meters per second; thus
the rig is ensured stable operation
in severe weather and sea
conditions.
The rig is classified by ABS.

At Sperry, we know how im-
portant it is to listen. We've been
listening to the marine industry
around the world for over 70
years. As a result, we under-
stand the challenges facing you
today.
We understand the eco-
nomic and competitive necessi-
ties to be ever more efficient,
more cost effective, more profit-
able.
We understand the envi-
ronmental and regulatory im-
peratives to sail cleanly and
safely within tight, new operat-
ing parameters.
We understand that tomor-
row these challenges will
become even more
formidable, more
intense.
But most
importantly,
we under-
stand the
advanced tech-
nologies required
to develop
the new systems
your ships and
fleets will need to
meet these chal-
lenges successfully.
We understand because
we've been listening.
COMPUTERS AWEIGHF
A DECADE-PLUS
OF SPERRY LEADERSHIP.
I
Sperry developed the digi-
tal computer. And we've been a
leader in developing computer-
based systems for naviga-
tion, command and
control ever
since. We intro-
. duced the
world's first
family of
computer-
based collision
avoidance sys-
tems more than a
decade ago. In
their years at sea,
these systems
have proven them-
selves in the only way that
matters-helping merchant ships
of every description pilot safely
through the world's busiest
harbors.
Moreover, our leadership in
computer-based technology has
proven itself versatile enough for
a wide number of specialized
applications- including cable
