Dynamic positioning system is a computer operated system, installed in ships to control the position of vessel in water body. The main components of a dynamic positioning system include thruster system, control system, and power system. The positioning system comprises of a GPS, which monitors the position of vessel. As vessel moves off the intended position, the DP computer starts to calculate the required thrust to apply to maintain the position of vessel. Moreover, a dynamic positioning system keeps the vessel at a fix position and replaces the need of utilizing anchors in the vessel.
Increase in seaborne trade across the globe, rise in number of dynamic position ships, such as survey & research vessels, advancements in offshore drilling technology, and greater deployment of offshore patrol vessels propel the growth of global marine dynamic positioning system market. However, complexity associated with the system and high maintenance costs are factors that restrain the growth of the market.

Increase in Global Seaborne Trade
Sea-based trade is considered as a preferable mode of transportation for goods between countries. About 90% of global trade is carried by sea. However, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the sea trade activities in 2020, but as the vaccine rolled out in 2021, the trade activities started to rise up and many countries opened their shores for sea trade. In addition, e-commerce activities also increased during the pandemic period, contributing to the growth of sea trade activities between countries. The rise in the seaborne trade results in increase in demand for large capacity carrying ships or container ships equipped with latest technologies, which is turn is expected to create demand for dynamic positioning system. Henceforth, increase in seaborne trade across the globe is a factor that is expected to drive the growth of the marine dynamic positioning system industry.
Increase in Number of Dynamic Position Ships such as Survey & Research Vessels
Presently, climate change is a global challenge that is being faced by countries across the globe. Scientists are utilizing research vessels to study the effects of climate change. For instance, a project, “Multidisciplinary drifting observatory for the study of arctic climate (MOSAiC)” was initiated in 2019, under which scientists study the arctic system and how it responds to climate change. Moreover, a research vessel equipped with dynamic positioning system can keep track of wind & waves and adjust its path accordingly without sacrificing its main objective.
Advancements in Offshore Drilling Technology
Offshore oil & gas production has led to development of advanced vessels equipped with latest technologies, such as dynamic positioning system. Moreover, during deepwater drilling, drilling vessels are held in place by two methods, such as anchoring or dynamic positioning system. At greater depths, dynamic positioning system equipped in drilling ships aids to maintain the position of the vessel without using anchors, making the drilling operation successful. Advancements in offshore drilling technology is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the marine dynamic positioning system industry during the forecast period.
