DYNAMIC POSITIONING TRAINING & DP COURSES FOR DP OPERATOR

Nautical Institute , in London administers Dynamic Positioning Operator training and certification. The Nautical Institute issue logbooks to trainees, they authorize training centers for DP Courses and control the issuance of DP certificates.

From 1st January 2012, The Nautical Institute will implement the minimum qualification of Trainees for DP Courses as STCW Regulation II/1 - II/2 - II/3 Deck and Regulation III/1 – III /2 – III/3 Engine.

The Dynamic Positioning Training programme is intended to apply to bridge watchkeepers already qualified by means of a certificate of competency as a deck officer / Engineer.
The Dynamic Positioning Training programme involves five phases as follows :
  1. DP Induction or Basic Course.
  2. minimum 30 days seagoing DP familiarisation.

DYNAMIC POSITIONING CLASS OF DP VESSELS

A Dynamic Positioning Classed vessel means the vessel must have a DP class notation from a Classification Society and not simply be fitted with Dynamic Positioning equipment. IMO has given guidance on DP equipment classification and redundancy requirements as follows :
  >>  Equipment Class 1 has no redundancy. Loss of position may occur in the event of a single fault.

DP Vessel Types

DP ships do not refer to a particular type of ship as any ship can install DP equipments and get itself DP classed if it complies with the classification societies requirements. Thus a shuttle tanker involved with cargo operation with FPSO may be DP Vessel - Shuttle tanker. This is the reason why Dynamic Positioning Jobs always specify the Operation in which the DP vessel is involved. The DP Vessels, for example can be involved in the following operations :
    * accommodation or 'flotel' services
    * Cable-laying

What is Dynamic Positioning ?

 Dynamic Positioning is a system by which a Marine Ship maintains her position & heading. Similarly Dynamic Tracking enables a DP vessel to maintain a particular track and heading. To maintain this position, head or precision manoeuvrings of the DP vessel sophisticated Computer systems are used. These Dynamic Positioning Systems control the propeller and the thruster of the DP Vessel. These operations occur at sea where mooring or anchoring is not possible due to deep water, pipelines at the bottom or other technical problems and specialized ships in the form of DP Vessel are required.

How Dynamic Positioning System works ?
We are not going into technical jargon but in simple terms the Dynamic Positioning Systems consists mainly of 3 systems :

These days Dynamic Positioning Vessel or DP vessel / DP Ships are the Buzz thing with mariners.
In this and subsequent Forum Posts We will try to talk not only about the Dynamic Positioning Vessel but also brief details about DP system,

dynamic positioning courses,

20 AUG 2011 - Search for Marine Ship and Maritime Company

Now JAHAJEE.com is giving the details of all Marine Shipping Company manning in India with DG Shipping approved RPSL Number

We have collected and queried most of the Indian Marine Company for their manned Marine Ship types. Several Merchant Navy mariners sailing in these Marine Company too have helped us in our datas. My special thanks to those who replied and cooperated.

With all the collected details we are starting additional feature.....now you can search about the Marine Ship and Shipping Companies manning for particular Marine Ship

Choose the way you want to know from different search categories. You can even rearrange the table depending on your need for better selective results. Just try out the new feature under the "SHIPS" tab of http://www.jahajee.com

You can even grade the Ships / Companies for the Score. From today we are also starting free services for the Marine Company. Would really appreciate if you guys keep the feedback rolling and suggestions for improvement 

Thank you
