Dynamic Positioning Awareness course
oleh Bureau Veritas.
This course will enable persons in support operations with DP vessels and Dynamic Positioning Operators, to gain insight of DP functions, capabilities and fundamental elements required for Full DP system operation and Station-keeping. The course will not be considered as a first phase of the DP operator training scheme and the participant will not be allowed for future familiarization as a DPO.
Based on the requirements of IMCA M 117 Rev. 3 (June 2023), this course is designed for offshore project staff engaged in project design and installation engineering, while also offering value to shore-based management teams within offshore vessel operating or managing companies, including HR, Operations, and Technical Managers. Additionally, it benefits crew members who need to adhere to IMCA or company guidelines specific to their on-board duties (e.g. Dive Supervisors, Company Representatives, and Rig Managers).
