Dynamic Positioning System Market

Report Highlights

Increase in the range of applications along with the advancement of dynamic positioning (DP) technologies is fueling the growth in the dynamic positioning system market. Dynamic positioning system is a computer controlled system which automatically controls a vessel’s position and heading completely by means of its own thrust, rudders and propellers. Generally, this systems are designed to meet classification rules based on guidelines issued by the international maritime organization.

Dynamic Positioning system now have become critically important due to increase in activity of offshore oil industry, renewable energy and other related industries. To address this variety and needs of industries, the demand for dynamic positioning system is increasing. Dynamic position systems are difficult and consist of many sub-systems such as power system, thruster system, DP control system among others. Moreover, rising demand for production, storage, floating and offshore vessels, is escalating the growth in the global dynamic positioning system.

The dynamic positioning systems market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period 2015-2025.

Dynamic Positioning System Market Market: Drivers & Restraints
