Dynamic Positioning System
A Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) is an advanced computer-controlled system that automatically maintains the vessel’s position and heading using its own propellers and thrusters. This system is crucial for operations where precise positioning is required, such as offshore drilling, cable laying, diving support, and other marine activities where anchoring is not feasible or practical.
Safety
It prevents the ship from drifting, especially during critical operations where stability is essential.
Efficiency
Reduces the need for anchoring, saving time and allowing operations in deeper waters.
Precision
Ensures that the vessel remains in the exact position needed for operations, even in challenging environmental conditions.
Function and Operation
Control System: The DPS relies on a central computer system that processes data from various sensors and references to control the ship’s thrusters and propellers.
Position Reference Systems: These systems include GPS, laser-based sensors, and acoustic beacons that provide real-time data about the ship’s position relative to a fixed point.
Sensors: Various sensors, including wind sensors, motion sensors, and gyrocompasses, feed data into the control system to account for environmental factors like wind, waves, and currents.
Thrusters and Propellers: The system uses the ship’s thrusters and propellers to make real-time adjustments, counteracting any external forces that might cause the ship to drift.
