Why DP Is Used Offshore
Where DP adds value
• When anchoring/mooring is not possible or unsafe.
• When precise position is required for the job.
• When continuous small corrections are needed over long periods.
Typical DP operations
• Close proximity work (structures/vessels).
• Subsea, survey and ROV support.
• Offshore loading/standby operations.
Reminder: This is a learning aid. Follow your company procedures, DP class requirements and the vessel’s approved manuals.
