The list is limited in terms of 6th generation ships:

Stena DrillMAX

Stena Forth
Generation: 6th
Year Built: 2009
Note: DP3 dual-activity

Fatih, Yavuz, Kanuni, Abdülhamid Han
Generation: 6th
Year Built: 2011+
Note: Turkish fleet of ultra-deepwater drillships

Noble Globetrotter I & II
Generation: 6th
Year Built: N/A
Note: Idle ultra-deepwater units

Apollo & Athena
Generation: 6th
Year Built: 2014–2015
Note: Cold-stacked Transocean units

Saipem 12000

Year Built: N/A
Note: Samsung design floater

Valaris DS-13 through DS-18
Generation: 6th
Year Built: N/A
Note: GustoMSC/DSME 12000 design series



My educated guess would be the DS-15 since the rumor out there is a 5 well campaign across multiple blocks in the same basin, but that places it in 2026 which seems wrong to me. So take it FWIW.
