Sistema de posicionamento dinâmico em operações offshore

Abstract

The prospecting industry and oil exploration seabed has become increasingly complex. Thenew findings lead to the exploration more distant from shore environments and very deep waterdepths, thus making them much more complex and risky operations, both for human life aswell as the environment. However, the newly developed technologies have made possible thesuccess of this new stage for industry. A great advantage to this continuous development isthe dynamic position system, which brings high-level operational control over the vessel, makingmuch safer, accurate and fast operations. This system has been implemented in several differenttypes of ships due to its various features and facilities. Its use is large-scale mainly in the offshoreindustry, which has become indispensable for various types of platforms and offshore supportvessels.
