GSP Orizont has a length of Шаблон:Convert, breadth of Шаблон:Convert, draft of Шаблон:Convert, height of Шаблон:Convert and depth of Шаблон:Convert. She has a maximum drilling depth of Шаблон:Convert and she could operate at a water depth of Шаблон:Convert.[2] As a drilling rig, GSP Orizont is equipped with advanced drilling equipment and has to meet strict levels of certification under international law. GSP Orizont is able to maneuver with its own engines (to counter drift and ocean currents), but for long-distance relocation it must be moved by specialist tugboats. The rig is capable of withstanding severe sea conditions including Шаблон:Convert waves and Шаблон:Convert winds.[2]
