Dynamic Positioning Systems (DPS) is a computer-controlled system used to automatically maintain a vessel's position and heading by using its propellers and thrusters. DPS is commonly used by offshore oil rigs, construction vessels, and cruise ships.
DPS uses sensors to constantly monitor the vessel's position and heading, as well as the surrounding water conditions. If the vessel begins to drift off course, the DPS will activate the propellers and thrusters to correct the vessel's heading and maintain its position.
DPS is an important safety feature, as it prevents vessels from colliding with nearby objects or running aground. It is also beneficial for vessels that need to remain stationary in rough seas, as the DPS will compensate for the waves and maintain the vessel's position.
