Offshore Energy & Marine Operations
Independent. Owner-operated. Directly accountable. Coastal Vessel Drilling provides contract drilling services to oil & gas explorers — no middlemen, no corporate delays.
Who We Are
Coastal Vessel Drilling is a privately held offshore drilling contractor. We are not consultants or brokers — we are rig operators. We own our equipment, employ our crews, and take direct responsibility for every well we drill.
When you contract with us, you get the Managing Director's direct number, consistent crew, and transparent dayrates — without the corporate overhead of a publicly traded drilling company.
From rig floor to founding — our leadership has drilled in coastal and shelf environments across multiple continents.
Safety is not a reporting metric. It is the only acceptable outcome of every shift and every well operation.
No account managers, no approval chains. When you call, you reach someone who knows your well programme personally.

Large drilling companies offer large fleets. But they also bring standardised contracts, slow decision-making, rotating crews, and high dayrates driven by shareholder returns.
Coastal Vessel Drilling is owner-operated and purpose-built for coastal and shelf drilling. You deal directly with the people running the rig. No layers. No hand-offs.
Zero LTI across our fleet for three consecutive years. Stop-work authority is absolute and unconditional for every person on board.
No approval chains. No committee sign-offs. Real-time decisions made by experienced people on the rig — and a MD who picks up the phone.
Competitive pricing without hidden overhead. You see every line item. We succeed only when you come back — that alignment drives everything.
The same people start the well and finish it. No rotating strangers. Your operation benefits from crew that know each other and know your programme.
We are currently accepting enquiries for offshore drilling contracts, workovers, and rig-sharing arrangements. No sales pitch — just a straight conversation.
