Certified Operational Intelligence for DP Operations

Xplisi DP Suite is more than a digital ASOG or another monitoring screen. It is a Lloyd’s Register assessed decision-support platform designed to bring live operational assurance into DP operations.

The system continuously connects vessel condition, ASOG status, CAM/TAM mode, machinery availability, alarms, environmental limits, operational risk and crew actions into one clear and auditable operational picture.

For vessel owners, this means a platform designed not only to support the DPO, but to strengthen operational control, reduce human-factor risk, protect machinery and provide objective evidence of how the vessel was operated.

Deterministic

The same inputs produce the same operational assessment.

Configurable

The company and vessel control their own limits, thresholds and operational rules.

Auditable

Status changes, assessments, confirmations and operational actions are recorded and traceable.

From static procedures to live, verified operational assurance.

Integration

DP Suite + ER Suite — One Integrated Operational Picture

DP safety does not begin and end at the DP console.

A loss of propulsion, power, cooling, lubrication or supporting machinery can become a DP event long before the DPO fully understands its consequence.

ER Suite interprets the machinery condition, criticality, recurrence, duration, redundancy and cascade effects. DP Suite then translates that information into its operational consequence for ASOG status, CAM/TAM mode, risk assessment and DP capability.

Engine Room Alarm→Machinery Meaning→Cascade Consequence→DP Impact→ASOG Status→Required Action→Evidence

This creates one live operational assurance layer connecting the Engine Room, the DP bridge and the shore office — while the final decision remains with the responsible crew.

For vessel owners

From traditional vessel assurance to live operational assurance

Prevent High-Cost Incidents

Recognise degradation earlier, prevent normalisation of recurring faults and support the correct operational response before a manageable failure becomes a blackout, loss of position or major casualty.

Protect the Company With Evidence

Every status change, assessment, confirmation and operational decision can be recorded, giving the owner objective evidence for audits, charterer discussions, investigations and claims.

Give Shore Real Operational Control

Move from daily reports and post-event explanations to live visibility of vessel status, ASOG condition, CAM/TAM mode, alarms, crew actions and decision history.

Protect the Asset

Use CAM when the risk requires it and TAM when conditions genuinely permit it, reducing unnecessary machinery exposure without compromising the required safety posture.

Live ASOG

Live ASOG — Not a Static Document

Traditional ASOGs are essential, but they remain documents that the DPO must interpret manually during an operation.

DP Suite transforms the vessel's ASOG into a live operational framework. The system continuously evaluates the vessel's actual condition and presents a four-colour status.

The value is understanding why the colour changed, which condition caused it, what capability is affected and what response is required.

GREEN

Normal operation within approved limits.

BLUE

Informative or consultative condition requiring assessment, controls or increased monitoring.

YELLOW

Reduced capability or degraded condition requiring preparation to suspend or terminate the operation.

RED

Emergency or unacceptable condition requiring immediate action in accordance with vessel procedures.

Key features

Supporting the DPO — not replacing them

Reduce Human Error

Technical failures do not automatically become accidents. DP Suite gives the DPO a clear and structured operational picture instead of leaving the operator to interpret multiple disconnected alarms under pressure.

Continuous CAM / TAM Risk Control

DP Suite provides a structured and auditable framework for deciding when CAM is required and when TAM is acceptable — considering operational type, vessel condition, ASOG limits, equipment availability, weather, risk controls and crew confirmation.

The objective is not to reduce safety. It is to match vessel configuration to the real operational risk while protecting the asset.

Prevent the Normalisation of Degradation

A repeated alarm that gradually becomes accepted as normal is one of the most dangerous patterns in vessel operations. DP Suite tracks alarm recurrence and persistence over time so that repeated conditions are not simply acknowledged and forgotten.

A condition seen again and again can be escalated rather than normalised.

Decision Support With Verification

DP Suite does not control the PMS. Instead, it helps the crew verify that the required protective response actually occurred — and prompts manual action in accordance with vessel procedures if it did not.

The PMS acts. DP Suite helps ensure the crew knows, verifies and closes the loop.

Bridge, Engine Room and Shore — One Operational Picture

One consistent operational picture across the vessel and the office, supporting exception-based fleet assurance.

Machinery Protection and DP Reliability

Integrated with ER Suite, DP Suite brings degraded machinery information into the DP operational picture — showing whether an alarm threatens propulsion, power generation, redundancy or station-keeping capability.

Recognise loss of redundancy before that redundancy is actually needed.

Closed Bus Operation — Controlled, Verified and Documented

DP Suite supports the required workflow before entering closed-bus operation, verifies confirmations and approvals, supports immediate awareness when the vessel must transition out, and flags and records an unexpected closed bus tie where it is not approved.

Operational Evidence

What actually happened, and what did the crew do? DP Suite creates a structured, time-stamped activity trail — objective evidence instead of emails, recollection or post-event reports.

Human Factor Control

Traditional systems may prove that a checklist exists. DP Suite aims to prove that the correct action was actually taken.

Training and Simulation

The same operational logic used onboard can be applied to drills, simulated failures and competence development. The objective is to train not only system familiarity, but decision-making.
