Classic DP Incidents are those that have happened multiple times in the past to multiple vessels. The reports are simplified with limited detail so they will be easy to understand. As with the LFIs it is intended that DP vessel personnel, or the vessel owners engineering group, review the “Classics” and determine whether their DP vessel(s) are vulnerable to the same fault. If a DP vessel is at risk they should take action to correct the equipment, process or training by planning/budgeting, and to apply any feasible immediate mitigation that is available.
