- Abstract
It was presented the problems of configuration choice of the power system and the propulsion system for offshore support vessels during the design process. It becomes more complicated when the vessel ought to have the dynamic positioning system. Due to long term engine work on low loads (idling) during station keeping process or dynamic positioning process and possible quick and heavy changes of power demand for the industry part there is an important problem for the correct choice of the components of power system configuration. There are possible three types of propulsion: Diesel mechanical (DM), Diesel electrical (DE) and hybrid (HP). The choice has an influence on many parameters: the specific fuel consumption, the propulsion and total efficiency, the costs of vessel's operation. Some of those problems were presented.
