Dynamic Positioning Systems
Robust systems backed by decades of experience
Since 1977, we have installed more than 4000 dynamic positioning control systems, on ships ranging from the most sophisticated offshore vessels and semi-submersibles to superyachts. Our portfolio of client-driven, innovative dynamic positioning solutions offer energy efficiency, wide-ranging functionality for any need, and true reliability in the harshest conditions.
The K-Pos Dynamic Positioning System
K-Pos, our range of proven dynamic positioning control systems, was introduced in 2007. It combines real-time data from vessel sensors and position reference systems, and interfaces to the power and propulsion systems to ensure accurate heading and station keeping.

Balancing fuel consumption and station-keeping with K-Pos
-
K-Pos dynamic positioning control systems allow operators to quickly transition between high-precision and more relaxed modes that allow area keeping with minimal power consumption in all weather conditions. This creates fuel-saving gains while offering the precision when needed.
DP classes and redundancy
-
A range of Kongsberg Maritime K-Pos DP control systems are available, complying with the IMO DP Equipment class 1, 2, and 3 requirements. They are designed for various types of vessels, missions, and risk mitigation for critical maritime operations.
The benefits of DP system integration
-
The K-Pos DP Control System can be installed as a standalone product, or as part of a larger system that is integrated with Kongsberg Maritime control systems. This kind of integration reduces hardware requirements and makes the user interface simpler.
DP operator training with Kongsberg Maritime
- Our DP simulator systems are used in training centres worldwide. This means that a high percentage of DP operators are familiar with Kongsberg Maritime’s DP products and systems. It also means that in a time when DP operators are in demand, it is easier to recruit and train DP operators for your vessels. Kongsberg Maritime also offers
