Ronald Young is correct in mentioning the Maersk Highlander, though the original caption is closer to the 1996 name of Scarabeo 6. She was built in Finland and delivered as the Glomar Arctic II, in 1984. She was sold around 1986 and re-named the Arctic Sunrise, though she never worked under that name. Maersk bought her, circa 1988, and sold her to Saipem in 1995.
Certainly looks like the Maersk Highlander. I worked on this rig in 1988 and still have the boarding card with photo although it looks well used now! The accomodation and food at that time was 5 star compared with most exploration rigs!
I took this photo whilst working on the Nigg jetty. A team of three of us were inspecting the oil and ballast lines under the jetty - it was perfect weather for it - flat calm with no wind. That rig was coming in as we worked and I suddenly became aware of an unexpected sound. We went to watch the rig coming in, and sure enough, there was a piper playing on the helideck!
