Minimum Power Heading: A Key Feature in Auto Heading Select

The Minimum Power Heading is a function within the Auto Heading Select mode of a Dynamic Positioning (DP) system. It calculates and maintains the vessel's heading that minimizes the power required to counteract external forces such as wind, waves, and currents. By aligning the vessel optimally, this feature reduces thrust usage, improving energy efficiency during station-keeping operations.
