"This is the 26th new build jackup rig that we have delivered since we listed in 2006 and we are scheduled to deliver the next rig."

NDC chief executive officer Abdalla Saeed Al Suwaidi said: “The mega project of building and acquiring a series of nine world-class jack-up rigs has produced success after success, not only for the partners involved, but for the UAE in general.

“All nine rigs were built here in the UAE to the highest quality and international standards. The achievement demonstrates world standard capability and represents a great source of pride.

“NDC's partnership with Lamprell to manufacture offshore jack-up rigs in the UAE has made the country the first and only country in the region capable of building such critically engineered, high-tech oil and gas rigs.”

The contract for Al Hudairiyat rig was signed in November 2014 and is the eighth such unit type from the series of nine being built.

All nine rigs have been developed in accordance with the Cameron LeTourneau Super 116E (Enhanced) Class design.

The last rig to be delivered is proceeding on schedule, which is expected to be during the first half of this year.
