DP Consultancy

"DP CARE® (DP1 & DP2 Dynamic Positioning vessel care). Provides the highest quality DP1 & DP2 Dynamic Positioning audits for drilling rigs, offshore vessels, and floating platform units that use Dynamic Positioning (DP1 & DP2) systems to maintain position and heading by using their propellers and thrusters.

Our high-quality Dynamic Positioning (DP1 & DP2) services include Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEA) and Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA).

The DP FMEA/FMECA trials provided by our DP CARE® service determine the safety, reliability, and redundancy of onboard systems for DP1 & DP2 dynamic positioning systems and DP-related marine systems of the DP system.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a mandatory requirement by class for any DP1 & DP2 Dynamically Positioned vessel.

'The DP vessel’s DP FMEA is the most important technical document in the list of required documents. The requirement for a DP FMEA has its origins in IMO MSC/Circ 645 (1994) “Guidelines for Vessels with Dynamic Positioning Systems”. These benchmarking guidelines provide the foundation for all subsequent DP rules, regulations, and guidance issued by each classification society and other industry bodies, such as IMCA."
