Dynamic Positioning System

Dynamic Positioning (DP) is a vessel capability provided via an integration of a variety of individual systems and functions. A computer control system automatically maintains a vessel's position and heading by using her own propellers and thrusters. The main components of any DP system are the positioning system, the DP computer and the thrusters. The positioning system, usually a GPS, monitors the position of the vessel. When the vessel moves off the intended position, the DP computer will calculate the required thrust which will then be applied by the thrusters in order to maintain the position of the vessel. KDU Group delivers full scope for any DP Conversion of a non-DP vessel to DP3, including upgradation of the Switchboard with PMS, Thruster Control System, Alarm Monitoring System and Position Reference System.
