Dwarfing the ferry on the Cromarty Firth in northern Scotland, the HENRY GOODRICH is a Sonat/Mitsui SES 5000 design propulsion assisted semi-submersible drilling unit capable of operating in harsh environments and water depths up to 2,000 ft using 18¾in 15,000 psi BOP and 21in OD marine drilling riser.

I believe it was the largest semi-sub in the world when built.

I travelled across from Invergordon to Marystown Shipyard in October 1999 before drilling on the Grand Banks.

I've climbed the leg to repair the VAX CPU that contolled the rig.
