Dynamic Positioning Committee
The Dynamic Positioning Committee was established to provide a consistent forum for exchange of information, discussion of technology, training and education, improvement of reliability, review of existing and proposed guidelines and/or regulations, and any other issues pertinent to dynamic positioning and consistent with the objectives of the Marine Technology Society.
The DP Committee activities include the annual DP Conference during mid-October, consisting of a Workshop on Monday, and the main Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday. The conference includes exhibits of DP related systems and equipment. Go to the DP Committee Website for the program and registration information. The DP Committee has prepared Guidance documents on Dynamic Positioning operations, design and people to aid in the safe and effective management of DP operations.
