Northern Offshore, Ltd. (Northern Offshore) was created in July 2000 as an offshore oil and gas drilling company. In August 2015, Northern Offshore became a subsidiary of Shandong Offshore Equipment Co., Ltd., a joint-stock enterprise initiated and established by Shandong Ocean Investment Company and Shandong Shipping Corporation. Blue Ocean Drilling (an affiliate of the above parent companies) and Northern Offshore were merged into a single organisation under the Northern Offshore brand. Northern Offshore is not only building a next-generation fleet of premier jackup rigs, we are building a next-generation company, one that is aligned with the needs of our customers and structured to respond with state-of-the-art solutions for greater productivity and efficiency.

Our current fleet includes two (2) offshore drilling rigs (managed), one (1) floating production unit and six (6) high specification jackup rigs scheduled for delivery from 2018 through 2020.
