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.

路透奧斯陸8月20日電-海豚(Dolphin)首席執行官週五表示，離岸鑽井平台承包商TransOcean Ltd和Dolphin Drilling已提出新的收購要約，收購陷入困境的競爭對手Seadrill Ltd.的資產。在奧斯陸上市的Seadrill由挪威出生的大亨約翰·弗雷德裏克森(John Fredriksen)創立，目前正根據上月提交給法院的另一項財務計劃，尋求擺脱美國破產法第11章的破產程序。海豚執行長Bjoernar Iversen對路透表示，“我可以證實，海豚和越洋昨天提交了最新報價.”然而，要想讓這兩家競爭對手的競購成功，他們必須説服Seadrill的債權人，他們的出價優於公司自己的計劃。(Nerijus Adomaitis報道；Terje Solsvik和大衞·克拉克(David Clarke)(neriju.adomaitis@thomsonreurs.com；+47 9027 6699；路透社消息：neriju.adomaitis.thomsonreuters@reurs.net)
