Dynamic positioning (DP) is a computer controlled system to automatically maintain a ship’s position and heading by using her own propellers and thrusters.

Aalesund University College has released a movie about Dynamic Positioning (DP). It shows what DP is and why it is important for the maritime industry. You can watch this movie from our website. The movie is produced by Tron R. Resnes/Leo C. Resnes.
