Dynamic Positioning (DP) & Critical Control Systems
We specialize in DP systems, control platforms for capital equipment, and complete electrical installations. Our team has extensive experience across multiple DP platforms, enabling us to service, upgrade, or replace any system or sensor—and troubleshoot even the most complex control configurations.
We also provide diagnostic and repair services for thrusters, CPPs, rudders, winches, and other critical control equipment. Whether you're installing a new system or upgrading existing gear, we offer seamless support with wiring, integration, and commissioning.
Thanks to our agile team, strategic location, and proven ability to operate in challenging environments, we’re ready to mobilize on short notice across Africa and surrounding regions.
DP FMEA Trials (5-Yearly)
Performed every five years, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) Proving Trials ensure the DP system still meets all safety and compliance requirements. These tests confirm that the system will fail safely in real-world conditions—protecting both crew and equipment. DMSS conducts these tests in full compliance with IMO, IMCA, and class society standards (ABS, BV, Lloyds, DNV-GL, etc.).
DP Annual Trials
Annual DP trials verify the functionality of the system under operational and failure conditions. We test all vessel maneuvers to ensure full compliance with FMEA outcomes and previous trial results—maintaining your vessel’s DP certification.
Pre- and Post-Docking Trials
These trials are streamlined versions of the annual DP trials, conducted before and after dry docking. They confirm DP system performance and identify any issues that can be addressed during scheduled maintenance.
Why DMSS?
We don’t just test—we deliver complete documentation, perform all procedures onboard, and ensure your vessel is fit to operate in offshore fields with full regulatory compliance.
