This course is intended for Dynamic Positioning Operators (DPO) with a certificate from the Nautical Institute that are unable to revalidate their DPO certificate due to insufficient DP sea time. By the end of the course the participants shall: - Have acquired knowledge of the latest rules and regulations - Have acquired knowledge of the latest developments within sensors and Position Reference Systems (PRS) - Have acquired knowledge of the latest relevant DP incidents and why they occurred - Be able to recognize the various alarm, warning and information messages - Carry out operational planning, risk assessment and hazard identification tasks - Set up the DP system for a particular task/operation - Decide on courses of action because of system failure The course is conducted as classroom training, combining theoretical presentation and practical work/discussion with exercises in simulator and guidance. For practical capabilities and skills, exercises are performed in fully equipped DP simulator. This course will fulfil the revalidation learning objectives as specified by Nautical institute.
