Oil-rig in Table Bay

Does anybody know what the oil-rig is doing next to Robben Island? It looks like a Christmas tree at night. A few weeks ago there were 2.

I was out in Table bay this morning and saw it, its a drill ship, cant make out which one it is though! As Tuna said, it is no more of a hazard than any other ship in the bay!

Still, it looks stunning at night when it is all lit up.
