DP Emergency Drill Scenario
DP emergency drill scenarios are included to assist DP vessel management and DPOs/Engineers and ETOs to conduct DP drills onboard. The intent is that the template can be used on any DP vessel so specific details regarding the technical outcome are not included. The benefit from using this template is to monitor and learn from the human reactions of key DP personnel. It is also important that the crew are familiar with various DP system setups including their failure modes.
