This Marine Operations Rig Move course will introduce participants to the theoretical and practical operations for safely moving a Jack-Up unit from one location to another.

​

Several practical simulations will be carried out throughout the course, enabling the student to experience and practice in real time, issues that can occur during Jacking operations. Demonstrating rig move operations, preloading, jacking, punch through, approaching open water locations and alongside fixed jackets, etc.

​

Students attending this course all become more confident in performing their job, or if they are new to the position will have the confidence to step directly into a rig move.
