Über dieses Buch

The application of dynamic positioning (DP) systems has been expanded significantly not only in the number of DP vessels, but also in the range of applications and the advancement of DP technologies. In order to address various needs of the industry, the majority of leading Classification Societies (Class) have developed Class specific guidance relating to development, implementation, and use of dynamic positioning Systems (DP). This book provides generalised guidance adapted from various leading Classes, to provide DP professionals with a readily available source of information and guidance relating to the operation and use of DP systems. The book provides optional notations and technical specifics that reflect current industry practice and DP technologies.

This book includes guidance relating to:

• Enhanced system (EHS) notations to recognise design features beyond current DPS-series notations and to provide flexibility to owners and operators.

• Station keeping performance (SKP) notations to recognise DP capability and to encourage robust design of the DP systems.

• Increased level of detail on the technical requirements to help less experienced users.

Frontmatter

Chapter 1. Dynamic Positioning System Design

Abstract

Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems are advanced control systems used in ships and offshore structures to automatically maintain their position and heading without the need for traditional anchoring.

Chapter 2. Power System Design

Abstract

The power systems which support and are employed by the DP system must be in compliance with the relevant Class Rules for that vessel’s mandatory Classification notations.

Chapter 3. Thruster System Design

Abstract

Thrusters are to comply with the requirements of Part 4, Chapter 3 of the Marine Vessel Rules, for vessels subject to ABS Classification, or as applicable.

Chapter 4. Control System Design

Abstract

In general, control and monitoring system components (alarms and instrumentation) for dynamic positioning systems of a vessel intended to be assigned a DPS notation are to comply with the requirements of the vessel’s mandatory classification notations.

Chapter 5. Auxiliary System Design

Abstract

The design of the components of auxiliary systems is to be in compliance with the requirements of the vessel’s mandatory classification notations.

Chapter 6. DP System Initial Testing Regime

Abstract

The components and subsystems associated with the dynamic positioning system are to be tested according to the vessel’s mandatory classification notations, where applicable, prior to testing of the dynamic positioning system.

Chapter 7. Enhanced System Notations

Abstract

At the Vessel Owner’s request, an Enhanced System notation (EHS), as a supplement to a DPS series notation, may be assigned to a DPS-2 or DPS-3 vessel. The main objective of the enhanced system notation is to improve reliability, operability and maintainability of the DP vessel.

Chapter 8. Station Keeping Performance

Abstract

At the Vessel Owner’s request, a station keeping performance notation (SKP), which s supplemental to the DPS series notations that may be assigned. The main objective of the station keeping performance notation is to provide for the consistent assessment of the station keeping performance reflecting the latest technology and to encourage robust redundancy design of DP systems.

Chapter 9. Specific Vessel Types

Abstract

While station keeping using DP is a common function of all DP vessels, other functions driven by specific activities that a vessel will undertake are also to be considered. Additional criteria, specific to several vessel types, are given below. Mobile offshore drilling units, project or construction vessels, and logistics vessels are addressed, respectively, in later sections of this chapter.

Chapter 10. DP Operations

Abstract

This chapter provides DP operations guidance for the safe and effective conduct and management of DP operations.
