This second edition reflects significant changes to the ways in which jackups are managed when afloat, such as those concerning design rules, regulations, guidelines and codes of practice. It includes changes to jackup moving operations, which are now conducted under a detailed and agreed Rig Move Procedure (RMP). This document clearly sets out the duties and responsibilities of the principal parties involved, the criteria to be used when making decisions regarding starting and stopping operations and the details of any sea passage to be undertaken. The book is appended with pre-move checklists and verified tow Master calculations.
This edition has been updated to include intricate technical illustrations, which have been annotated to reflect the steps involved in complex positioning operations. Factors such as weather criteria, seabed analysis and Certificate of Approval acquisition have also been included, making this a both a comprehensive and practical reference tool.
