waiting for movement.

For those of us who are still uncontrollably impatient with the drilling timetable, despite finally having an estimated spud date (i.e. myself lol) keep your eyes out for tugs near the Maersk Deliverer.

I've found the Maersk Beater is currently in port at Takoradi, which seems to be the closest major port to the Deliverer. The Beater arrived a day ahead of ETA on the 29th, presumably in anticipation of the imminent completing of the Deliverer's well. In the mean time it looks to be performing general duties like supporting cargo vessels as they come into port.

I'll be keeping an eye on this tug as well as looking out for any others if the Beater is not destined for the Deliverer.

Not long! Hopefully with the latest round of US jobs data and the Dow at 33 month highs, concerns about Japan and eurozone sovereign debt can be shrugged off and we see some more risk appetite returning to the market. Personally I'd be happy with a modest return to around 15c by spud.
