2 SCOPE AND IMPACT OF THIS TECHOP


2.1 SCOPE
2.1.1 TECHOP_ODP_04_(D)_(FMEA GAP ANALYSIS). This TECHOP addresses the wide
variation in the scope and quality of DP FMEAs for DP vessels of all types entering service
or following conversion for dynamic positioning.
2.2 IMPACT ON PUBLISHED GUIDANCE
2.2.1 This TECHOP impacts MTS DP Vessel Design Philosophy Guidelines Part II, Section 22.

TECHOP_ODP_04_(D)_(FMEA GAP ANALYSIS)_Ver1.docx 5


TECHOP

3 CASE FOR ACTION


3.1 WIDE VARIATION IN QUALITY AND SCOPE OF DP FMEAS
3.1.1 All dynamically positioned vessels of DP Equipment Classes 2 & 3 are required to be
single fault tolerant in respect of defined failure criteria appropriate to the equipment class.
Fault tolerance should be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the classification society.
These requirements are traditionally satisfied by carrying out a Failure Modes and Effects
Analysis (FMEA) which is validated by DP FMEA proving trials.
3.1.2 There is wide variation in the quality and scope of FMEAs being approved as
demonstrating such fault tolerance. Failure to detect single point failures and vulnerability
to common cause failures in the design of DP systems leaves the vessel vulnerable to loss
of positron and heading when the undetected failure mode occurs while carrying out DP
operations.
3.1.3 The potential consequences of such failures depend on the nature of the work but typically
include:
Damage to the DP vessel and/or vessels operating in the vicinity.
Damage to infrastructure and subsea installations.
Damage to the environment.
Financial losses.
Risk to life.
Loss of reputation.
3.1.4 Even when a poor quality FMEA is not approved and is rejected by class the fact that a
significant amount of design and construction work has often been completed by the time
the FMEA is rejected means that there may be a need for significant and costly rework to
correct issues not identified by the FMEA. This can delay vessel delivery and jeopardize
contracts if the vessel is not available to perform the work on time.
3.1.5 Classification societies recognise the importance of a good quality FMEA and the
significant risks associated with an incompetent analyses and trials program. Guidance is
now available in the form of a recommended practice for FMEA of Redundant Systems.
Such guidance goes a long way to addressing the shortfalls but is not yet universally
applied.
3.1.6 Note: In this context the term DP system implies all equipment involved in maintaining
position and heading including power generation propulsion and control systems. This is
the official definition from IMO MSC 645 although the term DP system is sometimes used
informally to refer to the DP control system.

3.2 RECOMMENDED ACTION


3.2.1 FMEA stakeholders should review and comment upon FMEAs submitted as part of the
approval process. The most effective and objective way to confirm whether a DP FMEA is
competent is to carry out a formal gap analysis between the document submitted and the
industry guidance on FMEAs referenced in this TECHOP.
3.2.2 A significant deviation from the scope and methodology recommended in the referenced
guidance indicates that the FMEA may not have been executed in a competent manner
and the DP vessel may not have the required level of fault tolerance.
3.2.3 FMEA stakeholders should then ensure the identified deficiencies are addressed which
may require comprehensive rework of the FMEA and proving trials.

4 SUGGESTED IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY


4.1 INTRODUCTION
4.1.1 The purpose of this TECHOP is to help ensure FMEAs for DP Vessels:
Are competently executed.
Analyze all DP related systems.
Consider the influence of the industrial mission on the DP redundancy concept.
Are effectively validated by the DP FMEA proving trials.

4.2 GUIDANCE FOR USE IN THE PREPARATION OF A GAP ANALYSIS


4.2.1 There are several sources of information on the scope and details of failure modes and
effects analysis:
MTS DP Vessel Design Philosophy Guidelines Part II.
DNV Recommended Practice for FMEA of Redundant Systems, RP-D102.
IMCA Guidance M166 Guidance on Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, April
2002.
IMCA M206 A Guide to DP Electrical Power and Control Systems.
IMCA Information Note M04/04 - IMCA Study Methods of Establishing the Safety
and Reliability of DP Systems 2004, Appendices D & E in particular.
4.2.2 New sources of guidance are published periodically and further revision of the MTS DP
Vessel Design Philosophy Guidelines will reference these sources as they become
available.
4.2.3 Of the publications listed above IMCA M04/04 is potentially the most suitable as
Appendices D& E can be used as a checklist to determine whether the scope of the FMEA
is adequate and provides guidance on the types of failure modes in each system. IMCA
M04/04 is now several years old and in need of some update. Additional information can
be obtained from the other publications.
4.2.4 DNV Recommended Practice for the FMEA of Redundant Systems RP-D102 provides an
excellent methodology for producing concise FMEAs suitable for shipyard use and class
approval. This methodology is focused on identifying single point failures and internal and
external common cause failures that can defeat the redundancy concept. There is less
focus on providing educational material for the vessels crew and the industrial mission of
the vessel is only considered in so far as it could cause the DP system to fail. The RP
focuses strongly on identifying non-compliances but there is less emphasis on identifying
vulnerabilities that are not single point failures but which are capable of reducing the
vessels availability for work by removing or reducing its fault tolerance. If applied
diligently, this methodology does identify those aspects of any redundancy concept that
require careful scrutiny.

4.3 CARRYING OUT A GAP ANALYSIS


4.3.1 An FMEA gap analysis is typically prepared using a spread-sheet format into which are
listed all the systems, failure modes and other important issues that should be considered
by the FMEA under review using the publications listed above as a guide.

TECHOP_ODP_04_(D)_(FMEA GAP ANALYSIS)_Ver1.docx 7


TECHOP

4.3.2 Against each issue to be considered is entered a brief comment as to whether the issue
has been satisfactorily addressed, partially addressed or omitted completely. It is usual to
provide a cross reference to the section in the FMEA under review when providing detailed
discussion of issues in the FMEA document.
4.3.3 A simple colour coding scheme can be used to identify the severity of the omission as
follows:
Green Analysis satisfactory.
Yellow Analysis incomplete.
Red - Analysis omitted.
4.3.4 The ratio of yellows and reds to the overall number of issues can be used to provide an
indication of the level of deficiency in percentage terms.
4.3.5 A summary report discussing the problems and major deficiencies is usually provided
along with suggestions on how to remedy the situation and complete the analysis to the
required level.
Note: The most useful time to carry out an FMEA gap analysis is on the draft revision of
the FMEA when it is submitted to the vessel owner for review prior to submission to class
for approval. It may be difficult to influence further development after class has approved it
with comments. A similar process can be applied to the DP FMEA proving trials.
4.3.6 An example gap analysis spread sheet is provided in Appendix A.

4.4 CONCLUSION
4.4.1 There is very significant variation in the quality and scope of DP vessel FMEAs currently
being approved. An FMEA gap analysis is a useful quality indicator and should be carried
out whenever there is concern regarding the scope, competence and veracity of an FMEA.
There is a significant amount of useful guidance on FMEAs and DP systems design
against which any analysis can be judged.
