obile drilling units are leased by operators with the highest workability and efficiency
figures in mind. Uptime needs to be maximised and, as such, jack‑ups are seen as the
most efficient tools. A jack‑up provides a stable platform that limits interruptions to
the very minimum. The X‑Y cantilever and its integrated skidding system developed by GustoMSC,
have a significant impact on the operational efficiency and safety of the GustoMSC Cantilever
Jack‑ups (CJ series) in moderate and harsh environments and in ever deeper water, worldwide.
