Positioning : Cable layer gets auto track

Importer 27 years ago

Alstom Drives & Controls has won an order for three dynamic positioning systems from DG Electrical, the electrical engineering arm of Cammell Laird, for three vessels which are being converted into cable layer ships for Global Marine Services.

Alstom`s duplex DP system, the DPS902, has been augmented for cable ship operations with an auto track mode to allow the vessels to lay cable on a predetermined route.
