West Phoenix at Cromarty 29 Feb 2016
The massive West Phoenix sumi-submersible drilling rig sits in the Cromarty Firth. This rig drilled the wells for Total's Laggan and Tormore fields. At 35,500 tonnes, the West Phoenix rig is the largest by gross tonnage ever to berth in the firth.
It will shelter in the deep waters over the winter before embarking on a new contract in March off the west coast of Shetland.
It is the 12th rig berthed in the busy deep water firth at present, with many of the others berthed long term due to the depressed price of oil.
