LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, the aim is that the participant should have acquired knowledge of the principles of Dynamic Positioning.

• Set up a dynamic positioning system and have an understanding of the practical operation of associated equipment including position referencing systems
• Recognise and respond to the various alarms, warning and information messages
• Relate the DP installation to the ship’s system e.g. power supply, manoeuvring facility, available position referencing systems and nature of work
• Relate DP Operations to the existing environmental conditions of wind, sea state, current and vessel movement

CONTENT

• Definition of DP, elements of the DP system, DP systems redundancy, and Class Requirements
• Functions of the DP system, and DP principles
• Different types of DP vessels and DP operations, sensors and use of sensor inputs
• Introduction to position reference systems and the DP system’s use of position measurements
• Vessel capability, DP consequence analysis and DP capability analysis
• Thrusters and manoeuvring systems
• Power systems and Blackout Prevention
• Operational procedures for DP operation, and procedures for operating the DP system
• Study of DP incidents
• Principal use of the DP system

LEARNING PROCESS

The training will be a combination of theoretical lessons and practical exercises. During the course each participant will have his own operator station with generic DP software.

This course is a mandatory retraining course according to NORSOK R003 to provide G5 crane operators with knowledge, understanding and skills in emergency situations of crane operations. The course includes in-depth exercises on a full scale DNV GL Class A crane simulator, supported by a program of lectures and instruction.

The course can be adapted to suit company specific needs, i.e. by using company specific loading/unloading procedures.

The course will enable the participants to handle normal  as well as critical operations i.e.

- Communication
- Planning
 -Use of crane emergency equipment
- Various lift operations under pressure
- Choice of correct actions if unwanted incidents occur

Theory:

- Laws and regulations 
- The safety functions of the crane 
- The safe operation of offshore cranes
- Human factors

Simulator exercises: 

- Operational limitations of crane operations 
- Communication during crane operations 
- Preparation and planning of crane operations 
- Internal transport on the installation 
- Loading and unloading supply vessels 
- Transport of personnel 
- Crane operation on various installations (fixed/floating)
