Dynamic positioning (DP) is a computer-controlled system to automatically maintain a vessel's position and heading by using its own propellers and thrusters. Position reference sensors, combined with wind sensors, motion sensors and gyrocompasses , provide information to the computer pertaining to the vessel's position and the magnitude and ...
Dynamic positioning (DP) is a computerised system which allows vessels to maintain a certain position or heading by controlling the thrust produced by the vessel's thrusters and propellers.
A diving support vessel is a ship that is used as a floating base for professional diving projects. [1] Basic requirements are the ability to keep station accurately and reliably throughout a diving operation, often in close proximity to drilling or production platforms, for positioning to degrade slowly enough in deteriorating conditions to recover divers without excessive risk, and to carry ...
IMR vessels are designed to continue operations in harsh weather conditions. They are equipped with IMO Class II or Class III Dynamic Positioning Systems and have the latest technology on board. The vessels usually have a large deck area, used for the carriage of auxiliary equipment, spools, containers, etc.
This is especially true on diesel-electric ships or vessels equipped with sophisticated systems such as dynamic positioning. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) amended STCW 95 (also known as the Manila Amendment) on June 25, 2010, to introduce the certified position of Electro-technical officer in place of Electrical officers.

Status of the dynamic positioning system regarding positional accuracy and reliability. Green indicates normal operation, yellow indicates degraded operation and red indicates emergency. [40] DP footprint Dynamic positioning footprint: The area around the nominal position to which a dynamically positioned vessel is constrained by the DP system ...
Hydroacoustic Position Reference is a system to measure the relative position between a transmitter and a receiver under water. It is sometimes used for vessels with dynamic positioning to either measure the relative position between a fixed underwater transmitter or to a mobile under water vehicle (for example ROV).
