Jack up rigs oil and gas industry in the Port of Dundee, Scotland. UK Weather Sep 2018. Colourful start to the day at Tayside Docks where three jack-up rigs, oil rig platforms are undergoing service and maintenance at the riverside facility on the River Tay estuary. The slowdown in the North Sea oil and gas industry has led to oil rigs being removed from the North Sea, with Dundee docklands providing a berthing place for them until they are required again in the future.

A jackup rig or a self-elevating unit is a type of mobile platform that consists of a buoyant hull fitted with a number of movable legs, capable of raising its hull over the surface of the sea. The buoyant hull enables transportation of the unit and all attached machinery to a desired location.
