Dynamically Positioned Vessels — Their Suitability and Safe Operations

Capt. Cook, Peter A.

Abstract This paper looks back to the early development of dynamically positioned vessels, showing how a system of suitability and safety assessment has been developed. The applications of DP have spread to a wide range of operations, and as the vessels and the systems have become more sophisticated the methods of suitability assessment have changed little, and up to now have been based upon a combination of charterers requirements and specific guidelines. The established means of assessment takes the form of a DP audit and trial, this is not a standard assessment throughout the industry, and in many cases does not take fully into account the suitability of the vessel for the work proposed, only its suitability as a dynamically positioned vessel. The current situation gives a great deal of scope for improvement and proposals outlined in this paper will give details of how a standardised system of suitability and DP safety assessment can be developed and introduced.
