The DP controls crew requires that a DP watch keeper ‘A’ and/or ‘B’ be present at the DP control console at all times while the vessel is operating in DP mode.
The need to control the bridge in accordance with the above applies only to those cases where the ship is operating in the DP. In other cases, the requirements of the watchkeeping sections of the STCW Code and/or the requirements of the charterer apply
Arrival check
An arrival check must be carried out before the vessel approaches within 500 meters of the installation site. The purpose of the arrival check is to ensure satisfactory operation of the DP system and should include a full functional check of the operation of the motors, power generation, automatic DP and joystick/hand controls. These checks should also ensure that the DP system is configured correctly for the appropriate DP capability class, for example the bridge staffing must meet the requirements of the DP capability class.
Getting ready to install
The vessel must maneuver at a safe speed within 500 meters of the installation site. The vessel must not approach the installation site without appropriate permission. When making the final approach to the installation, the vessel should not be directed directly towards it. In cases where the final approach to installation is made by checking the DP setup, this approach should be carried out on the DP or using the DP joystick
Checking DP location settings (ship electrician vacancies)
A position setting check must be carried out on a case-by-case basis and before the vessel moves to its final operating position. The main objectives of these checks are to evaluate the performance of the ship's station at the work site and to ensure that the position reference systems are set correctly. These checks must be carried out at a safe distance from the installation, approximately 50 meters. They should also be installed where possible, in a location where, in the event of loss of traction, the saddle weight will drift away from the installation. These checks must be documented and kept on board the ship. Time should be allowed to create the DP model (protocol 30 is recommended).
Distance (ship electrician vacancies)
The installation separation distance between the vessel and the installation must be carefully selected. The distance between the vessel and the offshore installation must be agreed upon before work commences.
The separation distance must take into account the combined movements of the vessel and the installation when the installation is not secured in a specific position (for example, FPSO, spar buoy or TLP).
The separation distance should be as large as is practicable under the circumstances without adversely affecting the safety of the feeding operation. Where possible, for example when only transferring hoses, consideration should be given to maximizing the distance by increasing the length of the hose.
