Oil and gas fields discovered at the Russian continental shelf are not yet developed but technical complexes for the first offshore production are currently under construction. Their principal element is a jack-up rig (JUR) strengthened for the Polar sea conditions. One of questions to resolve in construction of this drilling platform – the technology of its safe towing. Peculiarities of such transportation are briefly described for the offshore oil production project with jack-up rig «Arkticheskaya», which is currently under construction in the shipyard «Zvezdochka».
