Dynamic Positioning System

The only DP System provider to manufacture the DPS in the Middle East, leveraging our expertise honed in the UAE.

Dynamic Positioning System

DP systems Customized to meet your operational needs

Dynamic positioning serves as a vital tool across diverse marine sectors. We offer solutions for traditional offshore vessels, wind farm support vessels, fast crew boats, cruise and ferry ships, ice-going vessels, and much more.

engineered for precision and reliability

We provide Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 tailored DP Control Systems, compliant to MSC.1/Circ.1580, including extensive support from gap analysis and vessel design, to installation, system commissioning, training and after-sales support. The TRICON™ Dynamic Positioning System is built on the Components Off The Shelf (COTS) policy. This strategic approach minimizes operational costs, as all components are based on proven global technology. Our solutions ensure optimal performance and efficiency, delivering cost-effective and sustainable results for our clients.

Our recent case studies
on Tricon DP System

Seamless Transition: DP1 to DP2 Conversion
  • The TRICONTM DP 1, is engineered to meet the Class notation for Class 1 DP Systems, including necessary interface with the vessel power plants, position-reference systems and sensors.

  • The TRICONTM DP 2, is engineered to meet the Class notation for Class 2 DP Systems, incorporating a redundant Dynamic Positioning control station and Independent Joystick Control Station. Designed for single point fault tolerance, the vessel can maintain position and heading even after a single point failure in any component. It features an automatic switch-over to the hot standby computer in case of failure in the on-line computer, ensuring continuous operation and reliability.

  • The TRICONTM DP3, is engineered to meet the Class notation for Class 3 DP Systems, incorporating redundant Dynamic Positioning control stations and Independent Joystick control stations. Designed for single point fault tolerance, the vessel can maintain position and heading even after a single point failure in any component or fire/flooding of one compartment.

TRICON™ DP
Alert System

The system is available as a standalone option, or can be interfaced with the TRICON™ Dynamic Positioning System.

A standard requirement for vessels designed for critical operations such as diving vessels, drilling vessels, pipelaying barges, or more, the DP Alert System is essentially a traffic light signal system designed to alert the operator of any degradation to the vessel’s DP system or the vessel’s ability to continue operation.

Available in 230/115V 50/60Hz and 24Vdc versions, with one or more slave units, featuring standard status push-buttons with dimming functionality on the master unit, push-buttons with functionality to test the visual light signal columns placed at appropriate locations around the vessel and more, the TRICON™ DP Alert System is tailored and designed with scalability in mind, to meet simple and complex client requirements.

The system is designed in accordance with the requirements of the M103 and M220 IMCA regulations and is ASOG compliant.

  • Status levels: Green, blue or white, yellow, red.
  • Green – Operating Normally
  • Blue – Advisory – Slight deviation in the work of the DP, does not affect the quality of positioning
  • Orange- Degraded – Safe working limits exceeded -heading or position may be at risk.
  • Red – Emergency – The DP system cannot ensure that the vessel is kept in a given position, and warrants immediate action from the operator.
