Dynamic Positioning Standards

Dynamic Positioning Standards are set guidelines that ensure vessels equipped with computerized systems can maintain their position and heading accurately during operations, such as drilling or servicing offshore assets. These standards establish safety, reliability, and performance criteria for the equipment, allowing ships to stay in a fixed location without anchors, even in challenging conditions. They involve rigorous testing and certification processes, ensuring operators can depend on the system’s ability to respond promptly to environmental forces like wind and waves, thereby safeguarding personnel, the environment, and the success of the project.
