DP Incident Investigations

These investigations facilitates the sharing of information on potential hazards at the worksite and lessons learnt from follow-up investigations, thereby helping the vessel owner and the marine industry to avoid repeat occurrences.

IMCA guidelines recommend the following DP Incident Investigation events:

  • DP incident – loss of automatic control, loss of position or any incident which has resulted in or should have resulted in a red alert
  • DP undesired event – loss of position or other event which is unexpected /uncontrolled and has resulted in or should have resulted in a yellow alert
  • DP downtime – position keeping problem or loss of redundancy which would not warrant either a red or yellow alert, however loss of confidence has resulted in a stand down from operational status for investigation, rectifications, trials etc.

Global Marine Consultants and Surveyors Ltd work on specific vessels or facilities, multiple vessels and full fleets of vessels anywhere in the world to provide DP Incident Investigations.
