Jackup drilling platforms on the Tay at Dundee. The nearest platform is the Valaris 121 which was built in 2013 and is registered in Liberia. Designed to operate in the harsh environment of the North Sea the platform can be lifted up over 350ft on its legs. It is currently at work on the gas field off Bridlington.

The Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast is seen here during the docking of the Byford Dolphin Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit. The six month contract saw the rig surveyed and a number of modifications made in addition to standard maintenance and renewals.
