Safety Operation Office of Dynamic Positioning System

The use of vessels equipped with Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems, such as SEP, is expected to increase in the future for the development of renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind power generation, as well as for the exploration of marine resources like seabed minerals and methane hydrates in Japan.

Therefore, this office will contribute to the safe operation of the DP systems by collecting and analyzing information on safety, environmental protection, and accidents. Additionally, this office will handle emergencies unique to DP vessels with the DP simulator installed at NMRI.
