About Dynamic Positioning System
In most of the offshore activities, position and heading of the vessel play an important role. The dynamic positioning system is used to keep the vessel at a fix position and heading. The system automatically controls the position and heading of the vessel with the help of thrusters that are continuously active and balance the environmental forces such as wind, sea waves, current, and others. The key application of the DP system includes offshore drilling vessels, offshore support vessels, pipe-laying, and offshore construction vessels, dredging vessels and others. Rising the number of offshore patrol vessels and increasing import and export of oil & gas due to an expansion of oil & gas refineries are the key driver for the market. Additionally, rising use of dynamic positioning system in floating production storage and offloading can increases the market value in the coming years. However, high maintenance required for mechanical component, high system complexity, lack of DPS operators, huge installation and maintenance cost for dynamic positioning systems are the factors that have been limiting the growth of the market.
