Dynamic Positioning (DP)

What is Dynamic Positioning?

Dynamic positioning (DP) is now the standard means of position-keeping for Ships, Flotels (Accommodation) and Semisubmersible Rigs operating offshore around the world.

Safe and controlled positioning is vital to prevent injury, asset damage and environmental pollution. The dynamic positioning system controls the vessel’s position and heading automatically by computers, through an integrated network of mechanical, electrical and electronic systems and sub-systems.
