Kanuni means "law-related", "legal" in Turkish and can be used in a wider range of related meanings. The word derives from Arabic قَانُون (qānūn), which comes from Ancient Greek κανών (kanṓn).[3]
The three drillships of the state-owned Turkish gas company, Fatih, Yavuz and Kanuni, are named after the most famous conquerors and rulers of the Ottoman Empire: Mehmed II, Turkish: Fatih Sultan Mehmet, Mehmed the Conqueror, who conquered Constantinople in 1453; Selim I (r. 1512-1520), known as Selim the Resolute, Turkish: Yavuz Sultan Selim, who hugely expanded his empire; and Suleiman the Magnificent (r. 1520-1566), known in Turkish as Kanunî Sultan Süleyman ("the Lawgiver"), under whom the empire reached its apex.
After the Schahin Group went bankrupt in April 2015, the U.S.-based Dleif Drilling became the new owner.[8][11] The vessel then sailed from Brazil to Teesside, North East England, where she was arrested by the Admiralty court.[9][11] The arrest of the vessel occurred to force the payment of the owner's debt.[9] Dleif Drilling tasked the Dutch offshore consulting company Okeanos BV and the ship management company V-Ships Cyprus with PB Consultants Ltd from Scotland offshore brokering and advisory company Pareto Offshore AS of Norway to find a future employment. The vessel was then listed for sale.[11] A purchase offer for the vessel in amount of US$75 million was rejected by late November 2016.[8][11] In 2017, her name was changed to NS37 / Sertão.[7]
After the vessel was idled and warm stacked for nearly two years, the Admiralty Marshal of the United Kingdom opened a request for tender in mid January 2020 that was run by the broker CW Kellock & Co. Ltd.[12] The state-owned Turkish Petroleum Corporation, TPAO acquired the drillship for US$37.5 million winning the bidding.[5][8][10] Renamed Kanuni, she arrived in the territorial waters of Turkey in Eastern Mediterranean on 13 March 2020 after her 18-day journey departing from Port Talbot in Wales, United Kingdom.[2][10]Kanuni is the third drillship of Turkey after Fatih (ex Deepsea Metro II) and Yavuz (ex Deepsea Metro I).[8]
