Dynamic Positioning Systems

ICON DP – Ostensjo Offshore Wind Service Operation Vessels (SOV)

The Thrustmaster ICON DP system is trusted in some of the most demanding operations in the world requiring the highest level of safety and performance. The Icon DP system has been a DP standard bearer since early 2000 when it was developed in close-cooperation with customers, producing the highest level of confidence and quality in any DP system.

• Positioning performance in all operational and environmental conditions
• Optimal and safe thruster operation
• Flexibility through modularity; the system components are modular in design, facilitating tailored operator workplaces, flexible system interfacing, easy maintenance, and common spare parts.
• Seamless integration with other Thrustmaster marine systems with focus on functional, operational and safety benefits
• Intuitive and easy operation; large efforts are put into design and ergonomics. There is easy access to the most relevant information at any time and top-level DP status is presented
• Through all the focus areas, the overall objective is safe vessel operation
• The ICON DP system and Poscon joystick improve control and safety through a better workplace
• More than 250 vessels in operation and installations ranging from DP-0 to DP-3 (as of 2019)

ICON DP System with Poscon Joystick

The ICON DP system architecture is built on the extensive history of the Poscon joystick with its more than 40 years of stellar performance in the industry. The ICON DP system is trust on all vessel types and operational profiles with full DP range from DP-0 to DP-3

Thruster and Propulsion Controls

Interface

Thrustmaster uses a higher level of network-based functional integration with ICON DP installed together with Thrustmaster thrusters and remote controls. The ICON DP system is “tied up to” the thrust control systems through common network solutions.

Operator Interface

The positioning products from Thrustmaster are based on control devices and touch screen operation. The most essential functions are operated from the control devices, while more rare and complex functions are operated from the touch screen.

Flexible Operator Station Solutions

The compact design of the operator station components give several options of operator station integration. The ICON DP or Poscon joystick operator station components may be fitted directly on the bridge control desk, in a panel for desk drop-in or integrated in the Thrustmaster operator chair.
