Capt. Alberto Rispoli
We sincerely appreciate the outstanding support, cooperation and commitment during the successful ship repair and upgrade project of the deepwater drillship DDKG1 at Kakinada Seaport Ltd (KSPL) Brining DDKG1 Quayside is a great technical achievement and has proven that KSPL can support projects of this scale with the Quayside facility. Your partnership was instrumental to our success.
For offshore drilling operations in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, the location and responsiveness are critical. KSPL’s facility which supported the DDKG1, along with dedicated offshore supply terminal with round the clock vessel support makes it an ideal base to support the demands of the offshore deepwater drilling industry ”.
