Rowan Gorilla VII

Rowan's Gorilla VII mobile offshore drilling unit is in Dundee whilst undergoing some refit work.It is very unusual to see the platform jacked all the way up to the top (over 300ft high), especially when in port hence all the interest.

So far it has featured on the news, newspapers, online and various outlets. Not to mention that photographers have been out in droves (and not just from the local area) to get some pictures.

For me, the rig looked intriguing especially at night and looks like a floating fortress and some have even described it as an alien ship or something out of War of the Worlds.Either way, there is no doubt people are captivated by it.
