- DP Asset Reactivation
The principal goal of the DP Equipment Testing Subcommittee is to develop and maintain comprehensive guidelines for the testing of DP systems throughout the lifecycle of a DP capable asset. These guidelines will assist in outlining the critical issues to be considered when conducting the thorough testing of DP equipment and related systems. This sharing of knowledge is expected to help improve the reliability and performance of DP assets. It was with this same objective that the Subcommittee embarked to develop guidance related to the reactivation of DP capable assets – to improve the safety and efficiency of the reactivation process. The document represents a practical compendium of recommended practices that includes existing guidance from various industry sources as well as the extensive experience of Subcommittee membership and participants in Subcommittee proceedings. It focuses primarily on DP related systems and equipment and is therefore not comprehensive, as other marine systems and industrial mission equipment may also be subject to specific lay-up and reactivation requirements. It is intended that industry stakeholders responsible for the lifecycle operations of DP assets research and select items from this guidance with the goal of compiling a suitable strategy for their specific equipment package and industrial mission. Finally, every asset should be addressed bearing in mind its unique capabilities, design features, and installed systems and equipment. (July 2018)
