Aker Solutions is building model H-6 drilling rigs, the latest-generation of semi-submersible platforms specially designed to conquer the challenges of deepwater drilling operations in harsh environments. They include the MH DrillView™ system for optimal remote monitoring of the operations in action, which has integrated Milestone IP video surveillance software at its core.

The latest model, the Aker H-6e, is one of the largest drilling rigs ever, constructed by Aker Solutions in Dubai and towed to Aker Solutions' yard on the west coast of Norway. There it gets assembled in the topside facility and installed with the integrated Milestone video surveillance system with components delivered by Last Mile Communication AS.
