OSLO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Offshore drilling rig contractors Transocean Ltd and Dolphin Drilling have made a new offer to buy the assets of stricken rival Seadrill Ltd , Dolphin's chief executive said on Friday.
   Oslo-listed Seadrill, founded by Norwegian-born tycoon John Fredriksen, is currently seeking to emerge from U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings under an alternative financial plan filed in court last month.
   "I can confirm that Dolphin and Transocean submitted an updated bid yesterday," Dolphin Chief Executive Bjoernar Iversen told Reuters.
   For the bid by the two rivals to succeed, however, they would have to persuade Seadrill's creditors that their offer is superior to the company's own plan.

路透奥斯陆8月20日电-海豚(Dolphin)首席执行官周五表示，离岸钻井平台承包商TransOcean Ltd和Dolphin Drilling已提出新的收购要约，收购陷入困境的竞争对手Seadrill Ltd.的资产。在奥斯陆上市的Seadrill由挪威出生的大亨约翰·弗雷德里克森(John Fredriksen)创立，目前正根据上月提交给法院的另一项财务计划，寻求摆脱美国破产法第11章的破产程序。海豚执行长Bjoernar Iversen对路透表示，“我可以证实，海豚和越洋昨天提交了最新报价.”然而，要想让这两家竞争对手的竞购成功，他们必须说服Seadrill的债权人，他们的出价优于公司自己的计划。(Nerijus Adomaitis报道；Terje Solsvik和大卫·克拉克(David Clarke)(neriju.adomaitis@thomsonreurs.com；+47 9027 6699；路透社消息：neriju.adomaitis.thomsonreuters@reurs.net)
