Dynamic Positioning System

Dynamic Positioning System automatically controls a vessel’s heading and position by activating thrusters based upon data as received from position reference systems, gyrocompasses, wind sensors, and motion reference units. The Auto Track mode allows the ship to move along a pre-defined track at low speed as defined by the operator.

DP1 system allows the operator to automatically control the heading and manually position the vessel based on the data as received from gyrocompasses and wind sensors. DP1 system is suited e.g. supply vessels, tug boats, dredgers, cable and pipe laying vessels, FPSO’s, heavy lift vessels, and mega-yachts in full accordance with LRS standards.
