Step inside the Maersk Interceptor, a $650 million, 37,000-ton engineering marvel and the world’s largest jack-up oil rig. Transported to the treacherous North Sea off the coast of Norway, this leviathan must contend with stuck 200-meter legs, mechanical failures, and hurricane-force winds with 20-meter waves from the worst storm in two decades. Watch how elite engineers drag, position, and elevate this giant structure high above raging ocean swells to unlock billions in offshore oil reserves.
