Driving Innovation and Excellence in Dynamic Positioning.
Who We Are
The DP Committee – a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization – was established in 1996, with the objective of promoting a greater international understanding of Dynamic Positioning and related issues. In 2010, and again in 2016, the Dynamic Positioning Committee received the Marine Technology Society Outstanding Committee Award. In 2016, the Offshore Technology Conference awarded the Dynamic Positioning Committee its Distinguished Achievement
Award for Organizations.
Our Mission
To facilitate the exchange of information, discussion of technology, training and education, foster improvement of predictable DP performance, develop guidelines, and address any other issues pertinent to dynamic positioning that support delivery of incident free execution of DP operations, and that are consistent with the objectives of the Marine Technology Society.
Extensive Electronic Library of Dynamic Positioning Knowledge
Since its founding in 1996, the MTS DP Conference has built a robust knowledge base, now accessible through this website. This library includes a wide range of technical papers, incident analyses, and guidance documents covering all aspects of Dynamic Positioning (DP). It serves as one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date resources on DP technology available worldwide.
Numerous guidance documents are available for direct download.
