"Our experience in engineering power supply for offshore platform was our strength, as well as the high-reliability and the ruggedness of our products."

The design of the company’s Protect 8 system is based on a new modular architecture, improved manufacturing processes, and ‘fit to specification’ concept.

Earlier, the company worked with Dalian Shipbuilding on the BT-350 and AJ-46 drilling platforms.

Designed to have all necessary equipment to drill pre-salt oil, the new type BT-4000 semi-submersible platform has significant market potential in the field of deep water oil and gas.

Solutions are expected to be delivered in January 2016.
