Houston-based designer of mobile offshore drilling units Friede & Goldman (F&G) has signed an engineering agreement with Peak Ocean Offshore, a specialist in offshore asset conversion and lifecycle optimization, for the design and engineering of a major semi-submersible accommodation conversion project.

The agreement formalizes F&G’s role as the design and engineering authority for the project, which involves converting a legacy F&G ExD design drilling semi-submersible into a high-capacity offshore accommodation unit.

The collaboration leverages Peak Ocean’s expertise in asset repurposing and operational efficiency, and reinforces F&G’s decades-long reputation as a trusted technical partner for complex offshore conversions and upgrades.
