Mobile drilling platform. The underwater search has been made possible only by vast improvement in offshore technology ... new types [of platform] stress characteristics of mobility and the capacity for work in [deep] water. The world's mobile platform fleet can be divided into four main groupings: self-elevating platform, submersibles, semisubmersibles, and floating drill ships. The most widely used mobile platform is the self-elevating, or jack-up unit. It is towed to location, where the legs are lowered to the sea floor, and the platform is jacked up above wave height. 1, record 1, English, - mobile%20drilling%20platform
