Côte d’Ivoire Halfway Point!

Halfway there! ✅ Two of four Valaris Rig Start-Up Workshops are complete, and what a journey it’s been.

A day off gave our team the chance to swap the workshop for a little adventure—exploring the local culture, sharing great food, and building stronger connections together.

These moments matter. Understanding the people, the culture, and the community helps us connect more authentically with the local crews when we’re back in the classroom.

Strong teams. Strong relationships. Better conversations. Better outcomes.

Now it’s time to get back to the workshops and finish strong! 🇨🇮💪
