Practical operation of the DP system 4. Position reference systems 5. Environment sensors and ancillary equipment 6. Power generation and supply and propulsion 7. DP operations DP Basic courses objectives are: Define the principles of DP. Recognise the component parts of a DP system. nderstand the relationship between vessel movement, position reference systems, sensors, computers, propulsion units and feedback. nderstand the concept of redundancy. nderstand the DP modes of control. Describe the operation of sensors and common position reference systems. Describe the operation of computers. Describe propulsion units, types and configurations. nderstand power supply, redundancy and management. Communicate voice HF, use checklists and exercise watch handover procedures. The Simulator/Advanced course involves principally simulated DP operations including errors, faults and failures giving the participants the opportunity to apply the lessons learnt in both the Induction/Basic course and the seagoing DP familiarisation. It covers the following topics: 1. Practical operation of the DP system 2. DP operations 3. DP alarms, warnings and emergency procedures On completion of the Advanced course, the trainee should be able to: Describe and explain the warnings and alarms of a DP system.
