Designing for Flexibility with

Moss CS-series Semi-submersible Drilling Platforms

The Moss CS-series of semi-submersible catamaran platforms has established itself over the last 20 years as one of the most successful and widely-used platform designs ever.

One reason is that they can be designed to meet so many requirements. The structural layout allows alternative configurations of the deck arrangements and installations. This flexibility makes the CS-series ideal for applications other than drilling, such as well service, or as special purpose platforms such as the SDX-1 radar platform used by U.S Department of Defense.

Ranging in size from only 25,000 tons displacement to 60,000 tons, the CS-series platforms are rugged and long-lived with excellent motion characteristics. Field proven in the harshest of environments, they guarantee a long life with top performance.

Moss CS50 and CS60
The CS50 and CS60 are ideal for dynamic positioning (DP) operations in ultra-deep water and harsh environments. They accommodate dual activity and high capacity drilling systems. A special “non-harsh” version of the CS50 has also been developed for optimal performance for milder environments while still maintaining the proven characteristics and features of the CS50.

Moss CS30 and CS40
Developed with lighter equipment, the smaller CS30 and CS40 perform in shallow to medium-deep water either anchor-moored or as DP platforms

Moss Jack- Up Platforms
Moss has, over the years, gained significant experience from jack-up site assessments and jack-up performance enhancement and conversions.

Moss has also developed its own proprietary jack-up design, the Moss-Zentech 85M. This is designed for severe North Sea conditions in water depths up to 90 meters.
