Improving safety and reliability of ship propulsion system during dynamic positioning (DP) operations of multipurpose vessels is an essential advantage. It may be such possibilities obtained by application the considered solutions of propulsion systems and all other elements of energetic system. The minimum requirements were determined by creating the regulations of dynamic positioning systems and their levels. Applying the solutions, which were exceeded the limits of basic requirements, allows to increase the safety and reliability levels with a low rise the investment costs. Many marine companies try to invent so low cost solutions. An example analysed in the paper is the Wartsila LCC system. The applications of more complicated solutions in comparison to required duplicated systems are expensive. The cheaper solution is an investing in the development of automatics configurations (for those systems it was applied the triple and quadruple configurations) which in transient or emergency conditions may obtain the time delay making possible a support of industry part work and DP systems. In emergency situation, after the loss of position by DP system, the power management system allow the safe break of work the industry part and return to work after elimination the critical condition.

Ship propulsion configurations with dynamic positioning systems are commonly used as diesel-electric. In particular, situations for ship transfer on longer distances may be used conventional mechanical propulsion system with controllable pitch propeller. Combination of mechanical and electric propulsion system called hybrid propulsion is met as well, where the thrusters of DP systems are driven through the gear by mechanical engine or electric motor independent or both. For the sake of the necessity of limitation of total installed power on the ship may occurred problems with power distribution between the ship propulsion and industry part. It will especially concern those situations when we need to keep power supply to the industry part and there is a necessity to increase the power delivered to ship propulsion part for the purpose of keeping the ship position or heading. The primary task of power management system (PMS) is blackout prevention in ship energetic network and so power distribution to overcome critical conditions of it. Temporarily it may occur the worsening of positioning operation accuracy without any critical situations of industry part. The possibility of momentary overloading of energetic network is primary condition of safety. The critical duration of overloading is one minute. This is indispensable time for increasing the accessible power in the energetic system through switching on the next genset to work. It is a necessity of quick analysis in critical conditions to value what key-actions ought to do in the aim of overcoming emergency situations. The next one is a usage of energy storage devices. It is possible through AC/DC conversion. It was tried to find solutions of equalization the load of gensets to the ship electric energy demand.
