          ith the ever increasing demands
        
        
          placed upon drilling contractors,
        
        
          getting the most out of the
        
        
          equipment available is more important than
        
        
          ever. Transport costs per tonne continue
        
        
          to increase, available footprint on the rig
        
        
          deck is shrinking, but requirements for
        
        
          continuous and peak power rating, and
        
        
          more efficient productivity, steadily rise.
        
        
          To remain competitive, operators and
        
        
          rig designers leverage every opportunity
        
        
          available to deliver performance
