wait, exploration rigs?

Those things that look like platforms rather than boats?

they can dock?

Nah, you're talking about drilling platforms that are pretty much set in place. These are giant ships that explore and lay pipe.

You know I'm something of a giant ship that can lay pipe myself.

Even those things aren't build on location. They build them on land and then sail them to the location they want.

They can even be moved after they were done drilling
