DP Dynamic Positioning System

The Mega-Guard Dynamic Positioning System (DP) automatically controls a vessel's heading and position by activating thrusters based upon data as received from position reference systems, gyrocompasses, wind sensors and motion reference units. The Auto Track mode allows the ship to move along a pre-defined track at low speed as defined by the operator. The Mega-Guard DP and JC system are suited for e.g. supply vessels, tug boats, dredgers, cable and pipe laying vessels, FPSO's, heavy lift vessels and mega-yachts in full accordance with the applicable classification and IMO rules (DP1, DP2 and DP3). Our system can give accurate positioning better then 0.5 meter accuracy in combination with DGPS and MRU (inclinometer). Higher position accuracies can be achieved with e.g. a laser beam positioning system.
