Rotary drilling machine, also known as pile driver. It is a comprehensive drilling rig, for its usage of a variety of bottom layers, the characteristics of fast forming layers, less pollution, and strong mobility.
[pdf] A rotary drilling rig works by rotating a drill string, which applies downward pressure to a drill bit that grinds the earth. Drilling fluid or air is pumped down the drill string to cool the bit, carry cuttings to the surface, and stabilize the borehole.

Jackups are towed or moved under self propulsion to the site with the hull lowered to the water level, and the legs extended above the hull.
