Question 1
12
ABS DPS Class notation numbers mirror the IMO consequence classes,
yet neither demand any particular environmental capability.
Is this an omission?
![Page 13: DPS Notations: Clarifying the Role of Classificationdynamic-positioning.com/proceedings/dp2010/quality...Marine Technical Society Dynamic Positioning Conference 1 DPS Notations: Clarifying](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030416/5aa21e007f8b9a46238ca487/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How do we verify the capability plot?
Question 2
13
![Page 14: DPS Notations: Clarifying the Role of Classificationdynamic-positioning.com/proceedings/dp2010/quality...Marine Technical Society Dynamic Positioning Conference 1 DPS Notations: Clarifying](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030416/5aa21e007f8b9a46238ca487/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Question 3
14
The IMO Guidance states “Bus-tie breakers should be open during
equipment class 3 operations, unless equivalent integrity of power
operation can be accepted according to…”
ABS does not have an equivalent statement, but is this intent applied?
![Page 15: DPS Notations: Clarifying the Role of Classificationdynamic-positioning.com/proceedings/dp2010/quality...Marine Technical Society Dynamic Positioning Conference 1 DPS Notations: Clarifying](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030416/5aa21e007f8b9a46238ca487/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Question 4
15
ABS requires an Emergency Shut Down, but this could
introduce a single point of failure which is to be avoided for
DPS-2 and DPS-3 operations.How can ABS have such
contradictory requirements?
![Page 16: DPS Notations: Clarifying the Role of Classificationdynamic-positioning.com/proceedings/dp2010/quality...Marine Technical Society Dynamic Positioning Conference 1 DPS Notations: Clarifying](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030416/5aa21e007f8b9a46238ca487/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Question 5
16
In real life equipment is subject to wear and tear and breakdowns.
What is the ABS position when equipment, which is subject to
the ABS DP Class requirements, is not available day-to day and
at the time of survey?
![Page 17: DPS Notations: Clarifying the Role of Classificationdynamic-positioning.com/proceedings/dp2010/quality...Marine Technical Society Dynamic Positioning Conference 1 DPS Notations: Clarifying](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030416/5aa21e007f8b9a46238ca487/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Question 6
17
ABS requirements are silent on the subject of combined operations, but combined
operations are frequently the norm rather than the exception?
![Page 18: DPS Notations: Clarifying the Role of Classificationdynamic-positioning.com/proceedings/dp2010/quality...Marine Technical Society Dynamic Positioning Conference 1 DPS Notations: Clarifying](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030416/5aa21e007f8b9a46238ca487/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Question 7
18
Last year ABS introduced more DP-specific survey requirements.
Does ABS have any plan to accept the reports of other
independent specialists in lieu of ABS surveyor attendance?

Question 8
19
What about the future?
