The John Fredriksen-dominated rig company Seadrill is getting rid of another drilling rig.
The jack-up rig West Vigilant (2008) is now being sold to PT Duta Marine in Indonesia.
The sale price is $7.3 million, according to Texas bankruptcy court documents.
Fearnleys receives a brokerage fee of 3.5 percent after the sale.
A year ago, Seadrill announced that it could scrap up to ten rigs. West Vigilant was among these.
One and a half weeks ago, Seadrill decided to send five rigs and drilling vessels for dismantling at Rota Shipping in Turkey.
This includes the four semi-rigs West Alpha (built in 1986), West Venture (2000), West Eminence (2008), West Pegasus (2011), and the drilling ship West Navigator (1998). In total, the yard paid $ 37.8 million for the five units.
