See what weather each vessel can hold, then take it to the DP console.
Atlas model vessel PLV-150 Pipelay vessel · DP3
The console's own vessel: every lesson and Getting Started exercise is written for it. Two bow tunnels, a retractable azimuth and two stern azimuths, four generators on two switchboards.
- A = 8
- Everything working, weather within 30° of the bow: holds up to 20.7 m/s (40 kn) wind, 5.7 m waves.
- B = 7
- Everything working, weather from the worst direction: holds up to 17.1 m/s (33 kn) wind, 4.2 m waves.
- C = 4
- After the worst single failure, weather within 30° of the bow: holds up to 7.9 m/s (15 kn) wind, 1.3 m waves.
- D = 3
- After the worst single failure (loss of switchboard PS1), weather from the worst direction: holds up to 5.4 m/s (10 kn) wind, 0.8 m waves.
- Length 183 m · breadth 26 m · draught 8 m
- Thrusters: tunnel 2.5 MW, tunnel 2.5 MW, azimuth 3.0 MW, azimuth 5.0 MW, azimuth 5.0 MW
- Power: 4 sources, 17.8 MW on 2 switchboards
Atlas model of a real pipelay vessel (training vessel), with the console's own modifications: the main propeller is not fitted.
Capability calculated by Offshore Atlas to DNV-ST-0111 Level 1 (Edition December 2021), the same method for every vessel: Table 2-1 weather (wind, waves and 0.75 m/s current from one direction), thrust losses and the 10 % power reserve of the standard. For training and for comparing vessels. Not approved by DNV, not a vessel's operational limit and not an ASOG.
