The goal of the study was to evaluate four different thruster propulsion options for a DP drill rig from economical and technical point of view. The total installed thruster power was 8 x 2600 kW.

The options were based on either CP- or FP- propeller and powered either by AC- or DC- motors.

All the calculations were based on actual operating profile for the rig.
