ITEM 7.  Financial  Statements  and  Exhibits.

(c)  Exhibits

     The following exhibit is furnished pursuant to Item 12:

     99.1      Press Release issued by Transocean Inc. dated July 17, 2003.

ITEM  9.  Regulation  FD  Disclosure.

The  following  information  is  furnished under Item 12 of Form 8-K (Results of
Operations  and  Financial Condition) in accordance with Securities and Exchange
Commission  Release  No.  33-8216.

Our  press release dated July 17, 2003, concerning second quarter 2003 financial
results,  furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, is incorporated by reference
herein.  The  press  release  contains  a measure (discussed below) which may be
deemed a "non-GAAP financial measure" as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of
the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended.

In  the  press  release,  we  discuss  net loss per diluted share, excluding the
impact  of  an  after-tax  loss from early retirement of debt, after-tax charges
associated  with  certain  asset  impairments  and the favorable resolution of a
non-U.S.  income tax liability.  This information is provided because management
believes  exclusion  of  the  impact  of  the  loss from retirement of debt, the
charges associated with the asset impairments and the resolution of the non-U.S.
income  tax  liability  will  help investors compare results between periods and
identify  operating  trends  that could otherwise be masked by these items.  The
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net loss per diluted share, and
information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP measures are included in the press
release.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 9, including Exhibit 99.1, shall
not  be  deemed  to  be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange  Act  of  1934,  nor  will  it  be  incorporated  by reference into any
registration  statement  filed  by  Transocean  Inc. under the Securities Act of
1933,  as  amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated
therein  by  reference.  The furnishing of the information in this report is not
intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by Transocean
Inc.  that  the  information  in  this  report  is material or complete, or that
investors  should consider this information before making an investment decision
with  respect  to  any  security  of  Transocean  Inc.
