Based on international standard, in order to overcome the fickle environment and adverse weather on sea, most of ships which work for offshore wind need dynamic positioning (DP) system. Furthermore, DP operator also need professional training to get certificate. MTIC is planning to build a complete simulation room which is including DP system, offshore crane system and navigation system. In the near future, MTIC can provide dynamic positioning operator training (NI), offshore crane operator training (OPITO) and project simulation service.

Dynamic Positioning, DP was initially developed for the installation and maintenance of offshore oil rigs and supporting structures. In offshore wind operations, including diving support, foundation installation, wind farm construction, and marine or seabed surveys, anchoring is often impractical due to the presence of subsea cables and other structures. As a result, vessels rely on DP systems to maintain precise positioning and perform tasks efficiently. DP has below advantages:
1. Protection of Subsea Assets: Prevents anchors from damaging subsea cables, pipelines, or structures.
2. Operational Efficiency: Enables vessels to quickly reposition, improving efficiency, especially during multi-point operations.
3. Stability and Safety: Ensures stability in challenging weather and sea conditions, protecting both personnel and equipment.
4. Versatility: Supports a wide range of offshore tasks, from construction and maintenance to diving support and surveys.

Modern offshore wind vessels—including Heavy Lifting Vessels (HLVs), Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs), Pipe and Cable Laying Vessels (CLVs), and Service Operation Vessels (SOVs/CSOVs)—are all equipped with DP systems, whether newly built or retrofitted. The use of DP ensures stable and precise positioning, prevents damage to subsea cables and structures, and facilitates the smooth execution of critical offshore wind operations.
