Good Morning everyone,
I'm a French student making research about the DP market. I was wondering if you have any role and how you might influence the bying process? Does the operator have anything to say in the choice of the system? I founded a french firm who's offering DP system, Sirehna, as any of you heard of it (and if so how)? Used it? This is one of my finals projects and will help me graduate so any information is valuable for me, and if you have any other tips (website, forum,...) to get more I'll take them ;-) Thanks a lot for your help.

MT is a very nice system as well - very good reviews in the Gulf and North Sea. There is a ongoing debate on the Norwegian Forums, but the real strength with this system is the real time 24 hour/day support via C-Comm. All of the programmers for MT came from Kongsberg, so the systems are very similar. I would say that comparing the MT and Kongsberg side by side - I would give Kongsberg the edge on versatility, but MT the edge on user friendly for the novice and ability to upgrade more often (this is the most evolving system for the end user) Nautronix is a pretty good system as well. It's been a few years since operating one - but very limited, I believe is was the 4000 series. Just as good as any out there. If there was a choice between DP systems, honestly, I would rather have the choice on type and style of the reference systems and I would be happy with most any DP system.

I have worked a lot on KONGSBERG but also have enjoyed my 2 years working on CONVERTEAM DP systems.
ditto anchorman's last paragraph. |

There are 2 types of maritime companies. The good companies and the cheap idiots. All good companies I've worked for have asked AND LISTENED TO the opinion of the people actually operating the equipment (aka, the people in this forum). The other companies go with the lowest bidder regardless of whether it is the best choice.
All shipping companies of any size fit into one of these 2 groups, I assure you. |

First, they can always go through your system and look at about anything that they want, actually anything interfaced with the entire IBS system - not just DP. Even alarm history that you may think is not in the buffer is still there on a solid-state harddrive. Second, actual download and changes to the system require vessel permission, which means you have to turn an access key. For the key to work, you have to be out of full DP. This is a class requirement, so there are some real-time limitations while in DP.
