Uncertainty in the results
Simulator model uncertainty
Environmental conditions uncertainty
– Current velocity and direction measured once a day
– Wave direction observed by the crew
Lengths of the simulations when comparing maxima (5 wave random seeds)
DP control system tuning and gains – Simulator vs actual vessel
DP control system steady-state before a test started

Conclusion
4 days of trials performed in harsh weather
Maersk Venturer performed very well in station-keeping, both in positioning and vessel motion
With the weather during the test there was no a clear gain on having the vessel heading toward the current or towards the waves
The vessel responded very well upon thruster failure tests
Experience was gained during the heading change trials
DynCap time-domain simulations performed for comparison
Simulation results showed satisfactory agreement for both positioning and vessel motion
Such tool could be used for operational planning (WSOG)
