DP Assurance & Readiness Reviews

When DP assurance is needed

Clients involve us before DP-critical campaigns, after trial findings, or when vessel changes introduce new readiness uncertainty.

Scope of review

• DP assurance review of capability statements and limitations
• DP capability review against operation-specific conditions
• DP readiness check for procedures, contingencies, and action close-out

Deliverables

• DP-focused findings register with priority actions
• Readiness statement linked to campaign conditions
• Decision support for go/no-go and contingency planning

Typical findings

• Loss of schedule from unresolved DP limitations
• Unsafe assumptions during station-keeping operations
• Costly waiting on weather windows without verified readiness

Relevant sectors

• Offshore wind heavy lift and installation
• Subsea and field development work
• Complex offshore construction and intervention scopes

Vessel and project interfaces

• Vessel DP team and project marine management
• DP limits versus lifting and construction method
• Control room procedures versus offshore task demands

Standards and guidance considered

• IMCA DP guidance and operating practices
• Class/flag and project DP requirements
• Client standards for DP-critical operations
