The world’s most impressive semi-submerged offshore drilling platform is among one of their most well-known accomplishments. SHI employs use of the largest shipyard in South Korea, the Geoje Shipyard, which globally has the most dock turnover rate among competitors, and claims the world’s highest production efficiency launching 30 mostly ultra-large ships per year.
