I n preparation of the expiration of the charter, the planning for the demobilisation of the Rubicone has begun.
The Rubicone is a Malaysian ABS Class Mobile Offshore Production Unit or MOPU, converted in 2011 from a BMC-250 Mat Supported Jack-Up Platform.

Weighing at 5,113 tonnes, it has a daily production capacity of 165 MMscfd of gas, 5,262 BPD of oil and 2,044 BPD of water.
Perisai said it was considering all available options in securing a new deal for the Rubicone, which brought 40% to the company’s 1H revenue.
According to Kenanga Research, it could take around 6 months for the MOPU to secure a new contract.
