Dynamic Positioning Services at Sebastian AS
Global Reach: At Sebastian AS, we provide comprehensive Dynamic Positioning services, whether it’s conducting a vessel survey in Singapore, preparing an FMEA test in Korea, traveling to West Africa, or boarding a vessel in a Texas harbor—this is all part of our everyday work. We also handle local tasks like FMEA proving trials just two hours from our premises or attending project meetings in Ulsteinvik. Our team is always ready to meet the diverse needs of our clients, wherever they may arise.
Integrity and Expertise: As an independent company with a strong commitment to integrity and professionalism, we offer third-party DP FMEAs, consultancy, and other specialized services. As a leading provider of DP FMEAs, Sebastian AS focuses on ensuring safe, reliable vessel operations, accounting for redundancies, common and hidden failures, and inadvertent acts that could jeopardize position control on offshore installations or ships.
FMECA Services: Additionally, we perform FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis), addressing the criticality of system component failures. To maximize the benefits of an FMEA, it’s often cost-effective to prepare a preliminary FMEA during the early design phase, reviewing all systems for redundancy and separation before finalizing the development. This proactive approach helps avoid costly redesigns or system rebuilds later in the construction process.
