Every year, it is always a struggle to narrow down our selections for the MARINE LOG Distinctive Ship Awards. Dozens of nominations and prospective candidates are sorted through. One ship that was a "clear" choice was the Discoverer Clear Leader. Built in Okpo, South Korea by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, Transocean's Discoverer Clear Leader is the first enhanced Enterprise Class drillship, has a 12,000-foot water-depth design capability. As you might recall, Transocean's Discoverer Deep Seas, an Enterprise Class drillship, holds the current world record drilling depth at 10,011 feet of water.
