A Technical Guide to Jack-up Rig Moving Operations

Jackup Moving is Volume 2 in the Oilfield Seamanship Series, now in its second edition, and it deals specifically with the procedures involved in relocating and repositioning jack-up drilling rigs. These self elevating platforms are towed to location, their legs lowered to the seabed, and the hull then jacked clear of the water, an operation that calls for close coordination between rig crew, support vessels and marine warranty surveyors.

Written as a working technical reference rather than general reading, it suits marine professionals, riggers and offshore crew who need a clear, structured explanation of jack-up moving procedure and the safety considerations involved.
