DP Vessel Suitability Surveys
Dynamic Positioning Vessel Suitability Surveys are undertaken with the primary goal of offering the client a quantifiable subjective report based on our professional opinions on completion of the survey.
This type of survey determines if the vessel:
- is suitable for its proposed use.
- can maintain the level of DP Class throughout the charter period without having to downgrade its DP Class status for whatever reason.
- the vessel complies with all statutory national and international regulations as appropriate.
DP Suitability Surveys can be undertaken during the contractual charter period to ensure the vessel is maintaining its IMO Class as agreed in the contractual agreement(s).
