Thrustmaster’s patented Portable Dynamic Positioning System is a unique modular system of azimuth thrusters, power modules and controls allowing quick dockside conversion of any work barge or ship to a dynamically positioned vessel.
Ideal for upgrading derrick barges, pipelay vessels, cable lay barges, accommodation vessels, FPSO’s, heavy lift vessels, and more. As offshore operations move to deeper waters, you can upgrade your anchor moored vessels to DP-1, DP-2 or even DP-3 to meet and exceed the standards set by any classification society.
The system consists of several hydraulic outboard thrusters with a HPU (Hydraulic Power Unit) for each. If needed, a DP Control Van can be included with the DP electronics and control conveniently contained with air conditioning.
Typical power ratings range from 300hp (225kW) to 3000hp (2250kW) and can be mounted directly onto the deck or onto platforms attached to the side of the vessel. Conversion to DP service can be accomplished in a very short amount of time after receiving the thrusters and HPU’s and DP system.
