Objectives

By the end of the course the participants shall:

• Have acquired knowledge of the latest rules and regulations.
• Have acquired knowledge of the latest developments within sensors and Position Reference Systems.
• Have acquired knowledge of the latest relevant Dynamic Positioning (DP) incidents and why they occurred.
• Be able to recognize the various alarm, warning and information messages.
• Carry out operational planning, risk assessment and hazard identification tasks.
• Set up the DP system for a particular task/operation.
• Decide on courses of action because of system failure.

Participants

For participants, who hold a recognised Dynamic Positioning Operator (DPO) certificate issued by The Nautical Institute (NI), but do not have the required 150 days DP Sea time to revalidate through the conventional route:

• The DP revalidation course may be completed up to 6 months before the revalidation date set by the NI and will be valid for a period of 12 months after.
• If the participant is completing the course for the first time, there is no minimum DP sea time requirement.
• If the participant is completing the course for a second or subsequent time, a minimum of 28 days of DP sea time will be required to revalidate. This DP time may be completed prior to or after the revalidation course.
• Where the participant subsequently revalidates by completion of the full sea time requirement of 150 DP sea time days the next revalidation may be undertaken as if for the first time.

Content

The course is conducted as classroom training, combining theoretical presentation and practical work/discussion with exercises in simulator and guidance. For practical capabilities and skills, exercises are performed in fully equipped DP simulators. This course will fulfill the revalidation learning objectives as specified by The NI.
