Kongsberg Kits Out Noble Tom Madden Drillship

Noble Corporation has contracted Kongsberg Maritime to deliver real-time monitoring and advisory solution for the Noble Tom Madden drillship.

The Gusto P10000 design Noble Tom Madden deepwater drillship will join Noble Corporation’s Noble Bob Douglas, currently working offshore Guyana, which features the same software and hardware solution including Kongsberg Riser Management System (RMS), Kongsberg Information Management System (KIMS), K-Pos Dynamic Positioning (DP) and K-Chief Automation as well as subsea instrumentation.

“Reducing non-productive time is critical in today’s recovering, but still challenging market,” said Stene Førsund, EVP Global Sales & Marketing, Kongsberg Maritime. “Noble Corporation recognises this and after experiencing the diverse operational benefits of our integrated monitoring and advisory solution on the Noble Bob Douglas drillship, they are keen to realise the same when Noble Tom Madden starts its duties offshore Guyana.”
