Dynamic Positioning System

A Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) is a computer-controlled system used on ships and offshore platforms to maintain their position and heading automatically, without anchoring. It relies on sensors, GPS, and thrusters to counteract wind, waves, and currents. This technology is crucial for activities like drilling, diving, and handling underwater equipment, ensuring stability and safety in challenging marine environments. By continuously adjusting the vessel's position, a DPS enables precise operations while minimizing the risk of accidents or equipment damage caused by shifting or drifting.
