The operation eventually resumed safely with no contact or loss of position beyond planned standoff distance. Does this event still meet the threshold for formal DP incident reporting (e.g. to IMCA)?

A. Yes — a total loss of all position references while in DP Auto, requiring a switch to manual control, is a significant DP event regardless of the fact that no contact or excursion beyond safe limits occurred; near-misses and high-potential events are exactly what DP incident reporting schemes exist to capture so the wider industry can learn from them

B. Reporting is the client's responsibility, not the vessel operator's

C. Reporting is only required if the vessel actually contacted the platform

D. No reporting is necessary since the outcome was successful and no damage occurred

A. Immediately switch to manual joystick control regardless of the remaining references' status

B. Ignore the dropout since two references remain — no action is required

C. Restart the DGNSS 1 receiver immediately without checking the current position solution first

D. Confirm the DP system has automatically excluded DGNSS 1 from the position solution and is now running on the two remaining references (DGNSS 2 and Fanbeam); verify the resulting position solution is stable before doing anything else

A. Increase monitoring vigilance specifically — with only two references, there is no longer a "voting" majority if one of the remaining two starts to disagree, so any divergence between DGNSS 2 and Fanbeam now requires immediate judgement rather than automatic resolution; the DPO should also consider what reference would be left if either of these also fails

B. Nothing changes — two references is operationally identical to three for monitoring purposes

C. Immediately suspend operations regardless of how the two remaining references agree

D. Disable the alarm system since fewer references means fewer expected alarms
