Turkiye's seventh-generation drill ship, Abdulhamid Han, has

'We continue to work toward the goal of independent energy and a
strong Turkiye,' TPAO stated.
The fourth drill ship in Turkiye's fleet, which also includes
Fatih, Kanuni, and Yavuz, has a crew of 200 people.
The vessel is one of five seventh-generation ships in the world,
with a maximum drilling depth of 12,200 meters (40,026 feet).
The 68,000-gross-ton ship is 238 meters long (780 feet), has a

The Abdulhamid Han drilling ship, which was sent off at a
ceremony, held with the participation of President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, completed its work at the Yorukler-1 field in the
Mediterranean. Returning to Mersin after the activities at the
first duty station, the 238-meter-long and 42-meter-wide ship
anchored off the coast of Tasucu Port in Silifke District. The ship
will dock at the port for logistics and supply operations.
