Marine Dynamic Positioning For most vessels, complicated manoeuvres are only made when berthing or unberthing but for vessels working in certain sectors – particularly the offshore sector – the ability to accurately hold station for long periods is essential. To accommodate this need, vessels are fitted with some form of dynamic positioning (DP). DP systems […]
Marine Compasses Important as it is for a ship to know its exact position at any given time, the purpose of a vessel is that it moves between ports. Therefore, it is vital that the ship can head in the correct direction and the chief tool for this is its compass. Modern ships have access […]
