    (1) Contract dayrates shown in the table above are full contract operating dayrates, although the average dayrate over the term of the contract will be lower and could be substantially lower. Lower dayrates typically apply when the rig is under contract but not fully operating, including periods when the rig is moving, waiting on weather, on standby, down for repairs or maintenance or during other operational delays or events of force majeure. In certain cases under our Inland Barge contracts dayrates include revenue for other vessels and services provided by Delta Towing. The dayrates do not include lump sum amounts reimbursable from the client, bonuses that are considered revenue under generally accepted accounting principles, or revenue already included in other Hercules business segments.

    Domestic Offshore Marketed Rig Data

    (1) Contract dayrates shown in the table above are full contract operating dayrates, although the average dayrate over the term of the contract will be lower and could be substantially lower. Lower dayrates typically apply when the rig is under contract but not fully operating, including periods when the rig is moving, waiting on weather, on standby, down for repairs or maintenance or during other operational delays or events of force majeure. In certain cases under our Inland Barge contracts dayrates include revenue for other vessels and services provided by Delta Towing. The dayrates do not include lump sum amounts reimbursable from the client, bonuses that are considered revenue under generally accepted accounting principles, or revenue already included in other Hercules business segments.
