The increased number of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico has caused Diamond Offshore to decide to switch from an 8 point to a 12 point mooring system on its floating drill rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. The addition of four more anchors per rig is expected to cost $45 million and to be completed by midway through the 2006 hurricane season. All these new anchors should result in a temporary boost in marine employment in the Gulf of Mexico.
