WilHunter Accommodation to be Upgraded
Further to the established WilHunter yard-stay workscope, an additional accommodation upgrade has now been incorporated into the rig project. This upgrade encompasses a second accommodation deck which will be added to the rigs existing accommodation facilities. This upgrade will increase the maximum number of crew quarters from today’s 97 persons on board (POB) to 110. In addition, the upgrade will also increase office space and provide the rig with a dedicated Heli-lobby. This upgrade will change the WilHunter’s POB and office facility rating from one the lowest capacity to the top-tier of semi-submersible rigs operating within the UKCS.
