Finally we provide attendance during sea trials and follow-up on all close-out documentation.

AqualisBraemar delivers dynamic positioning services including DP FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), DP audit, DP Assurance and DP project management.

As independent consultants, we are ideally placed to provide unbiased expert advice, ensuring the best outcome for the vessel owners and DP operators.

Often a weakness in an engine cooling system compromises system capability.

A faulty feedback linkage in a propeller pitch control can affect positioning.

This may include power system analysis, switchboard testing, sensor integration, ESD, Fire Gas systems etc.

The audit follows a methodical approach, drawing on the experience of the engineers to effectively identify potential weaknesses in the system.

Our DP Personnel are experts at identifying what might go wrong within a system and presenting effective solutions.

Client feedback is solicited to conform to continuous improvement objectives.

Finally reports are issued following a stringent quality control process and results are conveyed to clients in a clear, concise format.

If any short falls were identified during the desk top study (FME(C)A), these can then be tested to confirm their severity.

AqualisBraemar personnel then work closely with the client to find ways to control or mitigate the riskconcern.

Such surveys normally take the form of visual inspections, examining the condition of all equipment items, reviewing maintenance and service records and interviewing the vessels DP personnel, to confirm their understanding familiarity with the system that they are operating, and performing DP trials.

DP capability analyses are generally used to establish the maximum weather conditions in which a DP vessel can maintain its position and heading for a proposed thruster configuration.

Naval Architects and DP Engineers develop capability plots, using the vessels loading and motion characteristics, along with the thruster performance data, to show position keeping performance in terms of limiting wind speed envelopes, or thrust utilization envelopes, under a range of environmental conditions and thruster dispositions.

It then becomes important to understand what happened and how best to avoid it in the future.

If required, they are able to provide expert witness services as well.

This is a custom document specific to the subject vessel and includes information on the entire DP system, from propeller to GPS antenna not just the DP console.

Our team of mariners and engineers work with the client to produce documentation which enables the operators to understand the systems that they operate.

Unit specific documentation will include maintenance procedures and check lists.

The industry continues to experience DP near miss incidents and incidents with consequences on a frequent basis.

Using DP specialists, we are able to perform design reviews, machinery and equipment purchase order and specification reviews, in addition to providing guidance on the development and implementation of project execution plans.
