(KONGSBERG, Norway) — Kongsberg Maritime, Bureau Veritas (BV) and offshore service provider Bourbon have announced the successful testing of a new solution for dynamic positioning (DP) system performance and redundancy audits – a first in the maritime industry. Developed by Kongsberg Maritime in collaboration with Bourbon and Bureau Veritas' DP experts, the DP Digital Survey application runs on an industrial data management system that ensures unprecedented data consistency for the verification of installed systems. It acquires information directly from the DP system and delivers it to auditors via a secure cloud infrastructure, allowing compulsory surveys to be conducted remotely.
