Training Methodology: DP Refresher includes practical/operational exercises — using Kongsberg redundant DP system simulators in a bridge-like environment — that are complemented with theoretical lessons. Participants will be given a review of DP principles and operation and rules and regulations with the use of lectures, case studies, and simulation.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of DP Refresher, participants should have a renewed understanding of:
- General principles of dynamic positioning
- Practical operation of DP and associated equipment, including position reference systems, heading reference systems, and wind sensors and other environmental reference systems
- Operational planning, risk assessment, and ability to react to various alarms, warning, and informational messages through simulated exercises on Kongsberg redundant DP systems
- Current national and international rules and regulations for DP
Target Group: DP operators or trainees who have not taken DP Advanced or DP Refresher in approximately four (4) years.
