Extreme Transport: Towing a $500 Million Drilling Rig Across Oceans | FD Engineering

Caterpillar’s Largest Dump Truck - Moving a 300-Ton Behemoth: https://youtu.be/A1TN6eJM8V4

A $500 million drilling rig must be transported from South Korea to Europe—but it’s too large for conventional heavy-lift ships. The solution: towing the massive structure across oceans using a single high-powered tugboat.

Pulled by one of the world’s strongest ocean tugs, the ALP Striker, the rig begins a 90-day journey around the Cape of Good Hope. Facing harsh weather, long distances, and constant risk, this is a high-stakes mega transport where precision, power, and endurance are pushed to the limit.
