What a well presented documentary on a very difficult and exacting operation. Every moment was tension filled but the cool and highly professional approach made it look so routine. Hats off to the young skipper of the tug. We wish him and his crew safe towing always. And the crew of the giant rig, successful and rewarding drilling. Stay Safe.

What a great experience to be on such a rig. I have worked for one of such a rig called *Safe Bristolia* in Singapore kepple shipyard during 2007, it was even bigger then this one in the vedio. But what is most striking is the massive ness of the structure. It's an unforgettable experience, and sobering memories. I was also blessed to work for another Russian oil rig in Singapore during 2003 to 2005 a complete refurbishment of the *Marmanskaaya* even Bigger then this one. It's always a joy and a challenge to work on a rig. Good luck guys.

@@adinicic4259 It doesn't depend on the amount of oil but the depth of the sea at the point. Deploying a massive oil rig is so expensive that it does not matter that much if it's built to the seafloor or not. If there is enough oil to deploy a rig, there is enough oil to justify building a permanent structure. The problem however is that most of the oil is so deep down, that it does not make any sense to build it to the bottom. Free floating or cable-attached, or semi subs are basically without depth restrictions. Those that are attached to the floor are basically used in waters less than 300 meter deep, there are exceptions tho. And funny thing is, even the biggest fixed, norwegian built, oil rigs were actually floated to the scene and then ballast tanks were flooded to make the whole structure sit on the seabed.

"The greater the distance between tug and tow the deeper the wire sags this acts as a shock absorbed reducing the tension and thus protects the main towing wire and the chain anchors on the rig this is the only way for the connection to survive the continuous load" "In shallow water the steel cable would grind on the rocky seabed and break so when they near a coastline the crew has to pull the rig at the distance of around 400 meters minimum" Great important lesson learn, sir!

I used Google to find out how much it is worth and it said 260 million.

I worked in HHI shipyard building 3 seDco 700 series drilling rigs. Then rode the tow from Ulsan to North sea. . Quite an experience.

This vessel doesn’t have the strongest bollard pull. The ISLAND VICTORY DOES. “Bollard pull is primarily (but not only) used for measuring the strength of tugboats, with the largest commercial harbour tugboats in the 2000-2010s having around 60 to 65 short tons-force (530-580 kN; 54-59 tf) of bollard pull, which is described as 15 short tons-force (130 kN; 14 tf) above "normal" tugboats. The worlds strongest tug since its delivery in 2020 is Island Victory (Vard Brevik 831) of Island Offshore, with a bollard pull of 477 tonnes-force (526 short tons-force; 4,680 kN). Island Victory is not a typical tug, rather it is a special class of ship used in the petroleum industry called an Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel.”

Wow what a journey! Great Documentary.
