Dynamic Positioning Simulator Course (NI DP Advanced)
DP Simulator Course is a "Phase C" of The Nautical Institute DPO Training and Certification Scheme. 5-day training is carried out mostly on the DP Simulator to allow delegates to gain required skills and knowledge of DP Operations.
To give the student should a thorough knowledge of the practical aspects of DP operations. They should be capable of planning and conducting any DP operation, including risk assessment, contingency planning and assessment of vessel capability. They should also be able to react correctly to any circumstances which could lead to a catastrophic failure or which constitutes a catastrophic failure itself.
The course is part of NI DPO Training Scheme. More details about NI DPO Training Scheme you may find HERE.
The training is based on the programme as outlined by the recommendations contained in The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) guidelines.
Training is a mix of theoretical sessions and practical exercises in simulators, using Kongsberg DP.
- By use of simulator equipment, the student must demonstrate an ability to set up and operate a DP system, including special functions as Auto track and follow target, sensors and associated Position reference systems.
- The student must demonstrate an ability to carry out a DP operation. All elements of the operation must be adequately covered. This includes planning using all relevant information, contingency planning, worksite approach, use of checklists, communication, DP watch schedule, DP hand over and DP logbook requirements.
- The student must describe the limitations of the DP systems during operations in shallow and deep waters.
- The student must demonstrate knowledge of conditions that will cause degraded or emergency status to prevail.
- The student must evaluate various information received and recognise warnings and alarms associated with catastrophic failures.
- The student must demonstrate correct behavior in connection with failures and take appropriate action to stabilise the vessels position after a failure.
Instructors will assess and score the candidate during theoretical and practical exercises. The pass mark is 70%
