動態定位系統運作暨操作人員之職前訓練

The Operation and Officers Induction Training for Dynamic Positioning System

國際能源發展趨勢從傳統化石燃料已轉型聚焦在具有再生、永續及乾淨特色之綠色能源。曾幾何時，仰賴大量能源進口的島國，在富有黑水溝之稱的臺灣海峽也能向世界宣告風電綠能開發。海峽中段之特定水域更躍上國際舞台，並且被國內、外開發商形容為地球上少有之絕佳風場。離岸風電工程需要各式各樣之海事工程工作船，在特殊工法要求下，船舶在工程執行水域必須穩定船舶所在位置，最常使用之方案即仰賴動態定位操作系統，該系統常為執行此工作船舶之必備規格，軟體面更需配置合格之動態定位系統操作手。動態定位操作人員之養成需經過一系列訓練程序，動態定位系統操作是九成的例行工事，但要能處理一成的突發狀況。本文以動態定位系統操作入門課程作為討論重心，操作人員的訓練著重於基本學理的闡述以及模擬機實作，為實際海上實作以及正式取得動態定位操作證書打穩根基。

Green energy leads energy development over conventional fossil fuel. It is subject to renewable, sustainable, and friendly to the environment. Being one of the green energies, wind energy can be exploited wherever there is breeze. Taiwan Strait was notorious for its rough sea conditions. However this notorious rough sea has become one of the best wind farm sites on the earth by international wind farm project planners. Offshore wind energy brings marine engineering and vessels involved in this kind of business are classified as the specialized vessel. Dynamic positioning operation is used to carry out such sophisticated work at sea. Dynamic positioning operators(DPO) are mariners with advanced training who are the only licensed personnel allowed to steer the dynamic positioning vessels. The induction training program for dynamic positioning operators is discussed. It is learnt that DPOs usually handle ninety percent of routine works and should be able to handle the ten percent of emergency events.
