TECUMEX DYNAMIC POSTIONING (DP) SOLUTIONS
TECUMEX DP Solutions provide high-quality, reliable dynamic positioning systems designed to ensure that vessels can maintain their position and heading accurately in a range of offshore and marine environments. With cutting-edge technology, redundancy features, and customization options, TECUMEX DP systems are an essential part of modern offshore and maritime operations, offering both operational efficiency and safety.
TECUMEX DP Classes
TECUMEX offers DP systems in multiple classes (DP1, DP2, DP3), each with varying levels of redundancy and system capabilities:
- DP1: Basic dynamic positioning system suitable for non-critical operations with limited redundancy.
- DP2: Provides redundancy for key components to ensure the vessel can maintain position even in case of failure in one or more systems.
- DP3: The highest level of redundancy, ideal for critical offshore operations where the loss of position could result in significant consequences (e.g., offshore drilling rigs, subsea operations).
TECUMEX DP Retrofit and Upgrades
TECUMEX also offers retrofit and upgrade services for existing DP systems, helping vessel owners enhance the performance and reliability of older DP systems. This service can improve the system's ability to meet modern operational requirements and comply with updated industry standards.
Key Benefits:
- Cost-effective solutions: Allows for extending the life of existing systems without replacing them entirely.
- Improved performance: Upgrades can improve the overall reliability and performance of the DP system.
TECUMEX DP Control System
The core of the TECUMEX DP system is the control system, which integrates sensors, thrusters, and position reference systems. This system continuously monitors the vessel’s position and heading, making adjustments as necessary to maintain a fixed location.
Key Features:
- Real-time monitoring: Constant updates on the vessel’s position, speed, and heading.
- Intelligent thruster management: Controls the thrusters in an optimized manner to ensure minimal fuel consumption and maximum stability.
- Advanced sensors: Integration with various sensors, such as GPS, wind sensors, motion sensors, and gyrocompasses, for accurate and continuous position tracking.
TECUMEX DP Position Reference Systems (PRS)
TECUMEX offers an array of Position Reference Systems (PRS) that enable the accurate tracking of a vessel’s position. These systems use different technologies to ensure accurate and reliable position data, even in challenging environments.
Types of PRS offered:
- GPS-based systems: For high-precision positioning using satellite signals.
- Acoustic positioning systems: For use in environments where GPS signals may be blocked, such as in shallow waters or within harbors.
- Laser-based positioning systems: For highly accurate position tracking, often used in surveys and subsea operations.
- Inertial Navigation Systems (INS): Provides backup and supplementary position data, especially in environments with poor GPS signals.
TECUMEX DP Power Management Solutions
Dynamic positioning systems require robust and redundant power sources to ensure continuous operation. TECUMEX offers power management solutions to ensure that the DP system has reliable and backup power during operation, minimizing the risk of power failure.
Key features:
- Power redundancy: Dual and triple redundancy in critical power components ensures operational safety.
- Energy-efficient design: Optimizes power consumption for vessel operations, reducing operational costs.
- Power distribution management: Ensures that all essential systems have adequate power supply, especially during critical DP operations.
