DYNAMIC POSITIONING SYSTEMS (DPS) REPLACEMENT FOR

NOAA SHIPS BELL M SHIMADA and PISCES

BACKGROUND

NOAA Ships BELL M SHIMADA and PISCES are currently outfitted with Integrated Vessel

Control System Dynamic Positioning systems, which were installed when the vessels were launched. The PISCES was launched in 2003, while the BELL M SHIMADA was launched in

2005. Both of the vessels are powered by integrated diesel electric, 24-Pulse DC SCR Drive

Systems. Each system includes two 1,150 kW (1,542 hp) propulsion motors on a common shaft for a total shaft horsepower of 3,017 HP. Each vessel is equipped with one 4.3 meter diameter fixed pitch propeller and one 720 kW (966 HP) Elliott White Gill 360 degree Bow Thruster, model 40 T3S. All ship’s electrical systems including the two propulsion drives and bow thruster are powered by two 1,360 kW and two 910 kW diesel generators. Each ship has one

Becker FKSR High Performance Flap Rudder. These propulsion systems have been unchanged since vessel delivery and their existing propulsion characteristics shall be used as inputs to the new DPS. The existing DPS provides four (4) local control locations on the bridge and two (2) portable stations. The primary control station has a separate back up control station as required by ABS.

The new Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) shall be ABS and IMO classed as a DPS-1 and shall provide four stationary (4) control stations at the same locations as the current four (4) stationary stations. The central primary station shall have a separate backup control station that meets ABS requirements. Due to the fact that a bridge officer operating a stationary wing controls cannot look over the ship’s side to directly observe gear alongside the ship, please provide a separate line item quote for one portable DPS that can be connected to either wing DPS as necessary.

2 degrees of the selected course at speeds from 0.5 knots to maximum. Propeller RPM shall be manually controlled at the propeller controls or the DPS joystick. This system shall allow course corrections without coming out of this mode.

o DPS Automatic Control Mode

The DPS shall automatically control propeller RPM, steering control surface angle, and thruster azimuth angle and RPM, as applicable, to meet the following requirements:

Dynamic positioning shall be required with the ship in full load condition

(with service life allowance) in the following conditions using the mean wave height and most probable modal period as defined in Table D-1 of

STANAG 4194:

Position Keeping – The ship shall hold position at best heading in sea conditions up through sea state five, a wind speed of 35 knots, and a 2 knot beam current. In this context, best heading is defined as when the ship is headed directly into collinear wind and waves. The ship shall be capable of maintaining a watch circle of one ship length diameter. The DPS shall sound an alarm when the ship falls off position beyond a user-selectable limit. The DPS shall include the ability to move from present position to a selected location in any direction while maintaining ship’s heading and rotating any amount up to 360 degrees while maintaining position.
