The worlds rst ice class +1A1 dual mast, ultra deepwater drillship for Arctic conditions

Stena DrillMAX ICE will be the worlds rst dynamically positioned,

dual mast ice-class +1A1 drillship, allowing for safe and efcient
operations in Arctic conditions.
Stena DrillMAX ICE is currently under construction by Samsung Heavy Industries at their
Geoje Shipyard in South Korea and is the fourth vessel in the Stena DrillMAX eet. Following
their successful delivery, Stena DrillMAX, Stena Carron and Stena Forth are currently in
worldwide operation.
Stena DrillMAX ICE is based on the existing Stena DrillMAX vessels, with inclusion of the
following signicant Ice Class requirements; this overall package providing the optimum
layout/specication for a vast range of world-wide operational requirements.
Ice class hull, PC-4
6 x 5.5KW UUC505 Azimuth thrusters, ICE-10
-30C rated Knuckleboom Deck Cranes
Compliance with DNV notarised WINTERIZED Cold
Anti-icing for anchors, deck piping, lifeboats, rafts, escape exits, scuppers & drains
Enhanced De-icing of open decks, gangways/stairways, hand railing and piping
Additional insulation for bulkheads and deck exposed to weather
Steam heating coils for Ballast tanks and drill water tanks
Steam blowing into sea chests
Enhanced environmental protection by means of enhancing / installing Windwalls / cladding
around Drill Floor, Mast and Standbuilding Tower
Extra environmental protection around BOP work area
Additional BOP on board to provide 100% redundancy
More lay-down/ storage areas
Additional Moonpools for ROV
