DP Capability Analysis
Stationkeeping analysis of a DP system utilizes numerical calculations to determine the worst environments when keeping the position and heading of a vessel. By the analysis, designers can configure thrusters more reasonably.
Seastel Marine System (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has developed a program to analyze DP stationkeeping performance. The program calculates DP capability plots providing hull design, general arrangement, and thruster configuration.
Seastel’s advantages on DP stationkeeping performance analysis
Our DP team can analyze a whole DP system, especially some difficult cases based on our strong R/D capability.
Seastel has good collaboration relations with a lot of design companies, and has calculation and analysis experiences to determine thrusters according to DP capability plots.
DP stationkeeping performance analysis process
- Designers gives hull design, general arrangement and thruster configuration;
- Owner determines the vessel’s working area and failure modes;
- We complete DP stationkeeping performance analysis;
- We submit DP capability plots.
