Ondjaba-1 was part of Maersk Voyager\u2019s original contract in Angola, but the rig\u2019s drilling programme has undergone several changes due to the unprecedented circumstances the world has faced since early 2020. With this contract option called, we\u2019re now looking forward to proving that Maersk Drilling and the highly capable Voyager crew can once again break existing boundaries in close collaboration with TotalEnergies,\u201d says COO Morten Kelstrup of Maersk Drilling.<\/p>\n<p>Maersk Voyager is a high-spec ultra-deepwater drillship which was delivered in 2014.
