The oil rigg Eirik Raude is the most modern semi-submersible built to date. It is a Bingo 9000 fifth generation drilling unit, designed for deepwater and harsh environment operations. The unit is designed for operations in up to 3000 m (9,800 ft) water depth, in a dynamic positioned mode, Class 3. The Bingo 9000 design will be capable of reducing well construction time by approximately 15% compared with fourth generation drilling units. Special consideration has also been given to creating a safe work environment and a low emission unit. The Eirik Raude is fully winterized for year round operating offshore Canada and offshore Northern Norway.
