<span lang="EN-US">The employability of DP operators are increasing manifolds with the different types of vessels being fitted with DP system. DP qualification can also become value addition to the previous qualification, for example, a qualified tanker master could find himself a job in FPSO or on a DP operated shuttle tanker. A master mariner with offshore DP experience in drilling may get an enviable position of OIM/OCM . A large tanker or a passenger vessel will prefer to entrust one of their own to pilot the vessel in restricted waters. Many other avenues are also available as DP Surveyors, Consultants and in the ever growing training both ashore and onboard ships.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

DP vessels are also capable of following a track defined by a set of waypoints. These unique capabilities are utilized in various applications. </span><span lang="EN-US">There are many advantages. The DP capable vessels are very manoeuvrable, fully self-propelled and require no tugs at any stage of the operation. Setting-up on a location is quick and easy. Rapid response to weather/ operation changes is possible. DP makes a vessel very versatile with optional modes like track-follow, ROV-follow and other specialist functions. Vessels are capable of working in any water depth. They can complete short tasks more quickly, thus more economically and avoid the risk of damaging seabed hardware from mooring lines and anchors. On the flip side, they entail higher capital and operational expenditure due to higher fuel consumption, costly equipment and requirement of more trained manpower. While vessels using moorings have a number of advantages, increasingly DP is the best option for many operations because the seabed is cluttered with pipelines and other hardware, so laying anchors has a high risk of damage to pipelines or wellheads. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Many DP vessels are designed specifically for supporting divers. Divers may be used to carry out inspection or survey work, installation and configuration of equipment, monitoring of an operation, recovery of lost or abandoned equipment. ROVs (remotely operated vehicles - unmanned submersible vehicles) are slowly replacing the divers but there are still tasks which cannot be done remotely and require human intervention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">There are different types of diving. 'Air diving' is limited to a depth of 50m where compressed air is used as the diver's breathing gas. </span><span lang="EN-US">Below 50m, in saturation diving, the diver is deployed from a diving bell and his breathing gas is a helium/oxygen mix (Heliox). The divers live in hyperbaric chamber maintained at pressure for up to 28 days. The diving bell which is also maintained at the same pressure takes the diver to and from the working depth. The working shift is usually 8 hour in which two divers take their turn. The divers are provided with gas, hot water for heating and communications through umbilicals connected to the bell and the vessel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

X-ray and NDT testing on the welded joints, anti-corrosion coating and weight-coating is carried out. At intervals, the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="abbrev">DPO </span> moves the vessel ahead to a distance equal to the joint-length and the operation continues. Tension is maintained on the pipeline with the help of pipe tensioners clamping the pipe. The pipe is supported by a lattice gantry type structure called ‘Stinger’, extending beyond the stern of the vessel, sloping downwards. The set tension is to ensure a smooth catenary to the touchdown point on the seabed. Pipe tension is input to the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="abbrev">DP</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>system which maintains tension, position and heading. In deeper water, a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">J-lay</b> configuration is used. In J-lay operations, the stinger is configured as a near vertical tower through which welded pipestring is passed. In <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Reel-Lay</b> Operations, the pipestring is prefabricated in one length at a shore-based factory. The vessel loads the pipeline straight from the factory, spooling it onto a reel or into a carousel. The vessel can transit to the site with the pipe to lay it by deploying it from the reel.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Offshore beckons, and many are attracted . If you happen to be one of them then DP is the gateway to a career in offshore, as most of the offshore vessels are getting equipped with DP system.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"> After working in DP field for a decade and teaching at various DP training centers, I have come across a number of seafarers who had many queries about DP. These questions range from simply knowing about DP, prevailing working conditions in offshore, pay & perks to more career oriented queries such as promotional prospects and certification etc. It will be my endeavor to satisfy some of these queries in the succeeding paragraphs. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Dynamic Positioning in </span><span lang="EN-US">the offshore industry, is not new as it came into being in the year 1961, but its only from 1977 that technical advancements brought in the high accuracy in position-keeping, which in turn increased the usability and importance of DP in the offshore industry. These days, a DP vessel operating as close as 10m from a platform, can reliably maintain position within a meter of excursion thus helping in various offshore operations which require high level of accuracy. DP is regularly being used in offshore vessels like offshore support vessels (OSV), diving support vessels (DSV), heavy lift cranes, construction vessels, drilling ships , survey vessels, pipelay vessels and many others. As a matter of fact these days DP is even being installed in larger passenger vessels, tankers, dredgers etc. for quick maneuverability and navigation in restricted waters. This does away with the requirement of tugs and pilots to come alongside. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"> In DP , position-keeping is done with the help of thrusters, arranged in longitudinal and athwart ship direction, controlling all the three axes of movement i.e. surge, sway and yaw. A DP vessel has inherent advantage over the conventional mooring type vessel as it doesn’t require assistance of tugs to take position. It can change position quickly and is capable of working in deep as well as shallow waters. Dynamic Positioning is done with the help of a central computer which controls all the thrusters depending upon the input it receives from reference systems and gyro. It is also helped by a ‘software model’, which maintains memory of the environmental forces acting on the vessel. During the DP mode, it is totally hands-off and requires operator’s intervention only on failures. In addition, a joystick is provided to manually control all the thrusters collectively in the desired direction. To run so many thrusters, a large numbers of generators and control systems are fitted on the ship, keeping the ETO and the Chief Engineer busy.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Life onboard a DP (offshore) vessel is quite different from that of a main fleet vessel. Generally, watches are of 12 hours in two watch system. On a typical OSV, vessel is expected to visit as many as 5-6 platform a day to deliver / receive cargo and enter the nearest port to top-up every week. There is never a moment of monotony or inactivity. Due to the smaller size of vessel, say a length of 60-70m for an OSV, more rolling and pitching in the rough seas is experienced. Shorter contracts of 6-8 weeks, extra money and better living conditions make up for that bit of discomfort. Since most of the offshore vessels operate in the same field for longer period, so there is less hassles associated with port state control inspections , planning of voyages and pollution control. Some of the DP vessels like drill ships, hardly change location over a prolonged period! Same set of crew regularly working on the same vessel is one of the biggest benefit that offshore industry enjoys. Owners are happy as the vessels are maintained well and crew is more comfortable in the known surrounding.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">DP vessels are categorized in Class 1, 2 &3. In most simple terms, classification is based on redundancy of equipment. Therefore, hazardous jobs are assigned to higher class of vessels. For example, a Diving Support Vessel (DSV) will be a Class2/3, whereas, a vessel employed in clear area could be Class1.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -36.0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">DP training for the deck officers is based on the Nautical Institute scheme all over the world. A complete scheme is shown in the box. A 4-day Basic (Induction) Course followed by 30 days sea-time on a DP vessel, after which a 4-day Advanced(Simulator) course followed by six months sea time , will qualify a seafarer for a DP certificate. Six months sea-time on a Class1 vessel will qualify a seafarer for a ‘restricted certificate’. To qualify for a full DP license , one need to work on a Class 2 vessel for a minimum two months. The certification is subject to successful completion of NI logbook. The Nautical Institute is improving its services to facilitate DPOs to apply, track and pay online for their certificate with effect from January 2011. There are many DP training institutions all over the world providing training based on the NI scheme. Some run 5-day courses, while others have 4-day courses but meeting the same standard set by the Nautical Institute. The Basic Course imparts a detailed theoretical knowledge whereas Advanced Course deals with the planning and execution of different types of DP operations and handling DP emergencies. Similarly, for engineers, a 4-day Maintenance course, is designed to give the requisite knowledge to work onboard. Appreciation Courses of duration (1 /2 day) are offered to industry to promote awareness among onshore managers, owners and clients.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Fresh entrants are advised to complete their mandatory trading vessel time before joining DP courses. Assessment of sea-time has been clarified in the NT Wing/Exam Circular 01 of 2009 and 02 of 2010. There is no minimum qualification for doing DP courses. It is quite acceptable in many countries for non-mariners to qualify as DPO. Since many DP platform do not navigate like FPSOs , they do not necessarily require the marine background. In Indian scenario, however, non-mariners may not find suitable employment. Interestingly, pay and perks in offshore draws maximum enquiry. Rank to rank a DPO may draw as much as 20-50% more than his counterpart. It cannot be quantified as it changes substantially in international market and from region to region.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihDhd3NgPD6nqDLfQNMalQGVgfV0xmi06MURM1t46UB0WJdAsMnCZQnP9pt7AoBM5OeMffwxv61iiqgTN3rpjckh7tEVTzqgHAOH0FqE712kUgWLC5pdDlIjqE3VChDlKYn3Sp3RlI/s1600/Capt+Shukla.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihDhd3NgPD6nqDLfQNMalQGVgfV0xmi06MURM1t46UB0WJdAsMnCZQnP9pt7AoBM5OeMffwxv61iiqgTN3rpjckh7tEVTzqgHAOH0FqE712kUgWLC5pdDlIjqE3VChDlKYn3Sp3RlI/s320/Capt+Shukla.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Seafarers planning to change their stream are advised to take free counseling available by experienced old hands at The DP Centre. The next step would be to look for a potential employer, the list of which could be obtained for reference. A high quality international level DP training in the two most widely used DP systems, Kongsberg and Converteam, imparted by internationally exposed instructors ,will make you competent enough to get the best jobs. The DP Centre collectively trains over 40% of NI certified DP Operators worldwide. The C-MAR group has a large pool of technical experts regularly conduct trials and high end technical work relating to DP and other offshore activities internationally.<o:p></o:p></span></div><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none; mso-border-alt: solid black .5pt; mso-border-insideh: .5pt solid black; mso-border-insidev: .5pt solid black; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 160;"><tbody>
