Lerus Dynamic Positioning (DP) System – Essential for Offshore Operations
Dynamic Positioning (DP) is an advanced computer-controlled system designed to maintain an offshore vessel's position or heading in deep waters where anchoring or mooring is impractical. DP systems play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of offshore operations, including deepwater drilling (drillships, mobile offshore drilling units), anchor handling (AHTS vessels for non-DP MODU anchoring), offshore supply operations (entry into the 500m safety zone of installations), subsea construction, and ROV support. This technology provides a safe, fast, and reliable solution for daily offshore activities.
In many cases, vessels operate in safety-critical environments, often near platforms or other fixed structures. To ensure maximum efficiency and operational safety, the competence of Watchkeeping Officers and DP Operators is paramount. Proper training and certification are essential, and Lerus is committed to delivering high-quality DP training, ensuring that personnel meet the highest industry standards.
