Tender-Assist Rigs: Southeast Asia’s Quiet Workhorses Head for Full Utilization

Tender-assist rigs, often overlooked, are seeing increased demand in Southeast Asia. These rigs, used for shallow water drilling support, are experiencing full utilization due to regional exploration and development activities.

Their resurgence is driven by the need for shallow water drilling support, as oil and gas companies focus on brownfield projects and maintenance work. This trend is expected to continue, with positive implications for the seafarers employed on these rigs.
