Operation in the Caspian: "Neptun" Drilling Rig Transported from Turkmenistan to Azerbaijan
12.06.25
The "Neptun" drilling rig was transferred from the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan. The maritime operation lasted three days and was carried out with the participation of vessels from the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company (ASCO), part of the AZCON holding.
The transportation involved the tugboats "Govsan," "Govsan 2," "SOCAR 1," "Andoga," "Shuvalan," and "Mardakan." These vessels had previously been engaged in a similar operation—in May 2024, they assisted in returning the "Saturn" drilling rig to Turkmen waters.
Both operations reflect the ongoing maritime cooperation between Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan in the field of energy logistics in the Caspian Sea.
