13 October 2004
ABU DHABI - EMDAD LLC unveiled an offshore Jack-up rig model (ND35) representing the vessel currently being built for National Drilling Company, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.

Emdad won the Dh352 million contract in October 2003 on behalf of its partner-principal Keppel Fels Offshore and Marine. The rig is currently being built at Keppel's manufacturing yard in Singapore and will be delivered on schedule in the last quarter of 2005.

Commemorating the first order to be placed by NDC for an offshore Jack-up rig, and marking its own involvement in this milestone through its sponsorship of KEPPEL FELS, EMDAD handed over the model to the General Manager NDC, at a ceremony to be held today at the ADIPEC 2004.
