What type of position reference system CyScan?
The CyScan system is a local position reference sensor for marine Dynamic Positioning (DP) applications. It measures the range and bearing of retro-reflective targets allowing the DP system to maintain the vessel’s position and heading relative to the target structure of another vessel.
What is PME in DP system?
All DP vessels have position reference systems (PRS), (sometimes referred to as position monitoring equipment or PME), independent of the vessel’s normal navigation suite.
What is dynamic positioning vessel?
Dynamic Positioning (DP) is a vessel capability provided via an integration of a variety of individual systems and functions*. A computer control system automatically maintains a vessel’s position and heading by using her own propellers and thrusters.
What is DP footprint?
DP Footprint Plots The plots are of the vessel’s DP station keeping performance and limitations in various environmental conditions (wind, seastate and current) and in various thruster/ power configurations, including all thrusters running, loss of most effective thruster and after worst case failure.
What is difference between DP1 and DP2 vessel?
DP1 is the most basic standard, with the ability for a ship to automatically hold station. DP2 has redundancy, but DP3 has segregated redundancy that would allow for a more serious failure.
What is DP training?
The DP training classroom at MPT is a state of the art facility for dynamic positioning practical simulation as well as theory. Dynamic positioning training is recommended for deck and engineering officers working on any type vessel equipped with the system and is required for vessels who are classed as DP vessels.
What is ASOG and camo?
CAMO (Critical Activity Mode of Operation) ASOG (Activity Specific Operating Guidelines)
How do I get a DP license?
To become a DP operator you need training certificates and practical training. In total, you will spend 120 days operating a DP vessel. Depending on your working position, further certificates such as BOSIET (Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training) might be required.
What do the colors in the ASOG mean?
CAM AND ASOG TABLES Once the gap analysis are concluded it is possible to complete the tables related to CAM, TAM and ASOG. The tables uses the colours code: GREEN: Continue normal operations. BLUE: Advisory status. YELLOW: Prepare vessel to enable cessation of operations and movement to safe location.
What is DP capability plot?
What is a DP capability plot? DP capability plot is a crucial tool developed to assess vessel ability to keep position and heading under certain environmental conditions. Based on a vessel design we estimate external forces caused by wind, waves and current for every angle of attack.
What is DPO in Seaman?
The person who mans the entire system and ensures the smooth functioning of a DP vessel is known as a DP operator. The dynamic positioning operator (DPO) needs to be trained appropriately before taking up the reins of the demanding profession.
What is DP officer?
What is a Dynamic Positioning Operator Doing? DP operators are certified to operate vessels which use a dynamic position system, which keeps the position of a vessel at a point against currents and waves. Close to rigs this is crucial as the biggest danger is a vessel drifting into/ramming an oil or gas rig.
What is DP 3 vessel?
DP3 takes DP2 one step further with the ability to continue operation with the failure of an active or static component, even with the total loss of the equipment in a compartment to fire or flood. Systems may also be required to be watertight depending on the vessel and damage to one system must not affect the backup.
What is camo in DP system?
The Critical Activity Mode of Operation (CAMO) is generally a tabulated presentation of how to configure the vessel’s DP system, including power generation and distribution, propulsion and position reference systems, so that the DP system, as a whole, delivers the intent of the vessel’s DP class notation.
What is the fanbeam 5 position reference system?
The Fanbeam 5 position reference system (PRS) uses accurate time-of-flight laser technology to determine vessel position relative to custom reflectors, which can be fixed to offshore rigs, installations or other vessels.
What tube reflectors can I use with the fanbeam® system?
We supply tube reflectors designed specifically for use with the Fanbeam® system. These entry level targets are good for general short range use where the Fanbeam is only required as a position reference in close range of the installation.
Which cluster target should I use with my fanbeam?
Techmak recommends the use of Prismatic Cluster Targets with the Fanbeam for optimal performance. Stronger signal return makes differentiation from noise much easier and tracking more reliable. Max range (typical) = 1.5km – 2km. All prism clusters are supplied with a Prism Tree Mounting Bracket as standard.
What is the difference between fan beam and cone Bean CT scanners?
Fan beam and cone bean CT scanners have both stationary and portable platforms. Stationary systems often have higher resolution, while portable systems allow for intraoperative usage. Portable fan beam scanners often have smaller gantry size limiting access to the lower facial skeleton because the shoulders will not fit into the scanner.
