DEEPWATER PATHFINDER
Deepwater Pathfinder was a first-of-its-kind,
ultra-deepwater drillship. She is the first new
build capable of drilling in 10,000 feet of water.
The
safest and most technologically advanced drill ship
in the world, Deepwater Pathfinder used satellite
and ocean-bottom positioning systems to remain
precisely in position, even in harsh weather.
The new technology on
the vessels includes a specialized combination of
seabed and satellite systems that send signals to
onboard computers, controlling six high-powered
thrusters. The thrusters counter the forces of
currents, wind and waves to keep the vessel exactly
on target -- usually averaging less than two meters
of her mark -- without an anchor. It is this new
technology that earned the ship its DP3 (triple
redundant) classification - the highest
classification given by the ABS. This means the
vessels provide the highest degrees of safety,
redundancy and reliability.
In
one of the first applications of its kind, the
vessel features computerized rig floor operations,
with conventional manual backup capabilities.
Drilling operations
use a cyber station to complete automated functions
which were previously done manually. This automation
allows a driller to use a computer and joystick to
pick up 90-foot joints of riser with a maximum block
weight of 1.5 million pounds, virtually eliminating
the human element from operating much of the
traditional drilling equipment, reducing the risk of
injury while increasing efficiency.

This primarily
wooden
40" long
Deepwater
Pathfinder model is an old stock. We built two
units, one for a senior staff on the ship and
this one. Even though it looks
very good, it is our third generation model. (We
are now at
fifth generation.)
The low price reflects a third-generation model.
We can build another
model for $6,900.
Shipping and insurance in
the contiguous USA included.
Other places: $400 flat rate. A wooden base is included.
