Offshore drilling rig Transocean Barents heads toward Lebanon's Block 9

On Saturday, July 15, the Transocean Barents drilling rig sailed from Norwegian waters towards Block No. 9 in the Sea of Lebanon.

Its journey to reach Lebanese waters takes about a month, noting that the drilling rig will stop for days in the Strait of Gibraltar to change its crew before continuing its journey towards Lebanon.
