Singapore, 26 October 2026 – Keppel’s RigCo has awarded Seatrium a contract worth more than S$500 million to complete four offshore drilling rigs: a seventh-generation drillship, a harsh-environment jack-up and two mid-water semisubmersibles. RigCo will fund the work from existing cash, with delivery of the drillship targeted for 2027 and the jack-up for 2028.

The contract value and first two delivery targets are confirmed. Completion and monetisation of all four units still depend on technical assessments, customer demand, project execution and offshore-market conditions.
