MV BERKAT TENANG – For Operations in Kasawari Field
This setup applies for DP 1 operations
This setup applies when the vessel is carrying out trenching
operations and when vessel within 500 m’s safety zone.
Reinstating equipment, during recovery from equipment
failure is to be done outside the500m safety zone. This will
require the vessel to go to a yellow status, safely suspend
operations, move out of the safety zone and carry out the
reinstatement activities.
Default DP Mode: Auto Position. Default Center of Rotation
(COR): Midship. Default DP Gain Setting: Medium. Expected
Weather / Current Events to Trigger Consideration of Using
High Gain.
Vessel to be setup and stabilized upon arrival at worksite.
Entry into 500m zone is in DP auto position mode. Default
mode of exit from worksite until 200m off surface asset is on
DP. This does not preclude Master from departing in manual
or joystick in response to loss of station keeping event or
necessitated by other emergencies
Vessel moves in progress are not to be stopped by reducing
speed to zero. Present position' or 'Stop" functionality to be
utilized
A change in status to yellow or red due to equipment failure or
human error must be notified to Client. Vessel not permitted
to return to work after yellow or red, without permission from
Client
Position references sensors for this activity are:
at least three independent systems in use (at least two
different principles, at least two different I/O, at least two
different UPS).

discussed as part of execution tasks.
Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) of position monitoring
Pre watch and pre task meetings to cover IJS setup and use, systems to be optimized to enhance position excursion
precautions about inadvertent change of mode, need to set up monitoring and early warning (Example: ECDIS, position
and monitor position offsets independent of DP control system reference screens independent of control system network
(DP/VMS/PMS) etc.)
Reinstating equipment post failures requires vessel to safely
suspend operations, leave worksite / 500m zone prior to Strict FO management procedure to be implemented and
