The jack up drilling rig Ensco 85 has entered the Grand Harbour for repairs and refurbishment that will bring essential work to many suppliers and service companies across the island.

The rig, which sailed into Grand Harbour on Thursday, belongs to Ensco plc, the world’s second largest offshore oil and gas well drilling company. It was towed from offshore Zarzis, Tunisia where it had been drilling.

Malta has established an excellent name for itself in supporting the oil and gas industries due to its strategic location, among others. Ensco plc is represented in Malta by Cassar & Cooper.
