semisubmersible

Last summer, a pair of semisubmersible rigs were purchased by a limited liability company tied to SpaceX. Around the same time, the commercial aerospace firm announced future plans to launch rockets from offshore platforms.

After being acquired in 2019, the Well-Safe Guardian semisubmersible was extensively overhauled and upgraded. Fugro is the second company to be awarded work this year on the asset.
