On 7 January, 2017 at Remontowa Shiprepair Yard in Gdańsk, a special docking operation was conducted. The shipyard with the assistance of six tugs, docked the Petrobaltic jack-up rig, using a semi-submersible heavy lift unit REM LIFT 25000.
This has been the 15th offshore platform serviced at Remontowa and the 5th rig docked on board the heavy lift unit so far.
The LOTOS Petrobaltic SA is a company that implements the strategic objectives of the LOTOS Capital Group in the area of exploration and production of hydrocarbons.
