| Domain | Definition |
Mining | Maintainence of a drill ship's position through the use of outboard engines on opposite sides of the vessel. The position is maintained by automatic centering in a circle of sonar reflectors placed around the drilling target, either on the bottom or suspended by taut wire buoys.Several drilling ships are now equipped with this facility.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Dynamic positioning may either be absolute in that the position is locked to a fixed point over the bottom, or relative to a moving object like another ship. One may also position the ship at a determined angle towards wind and waves.
Dynamic positioning is much used in the North Sea oil industry. Important applications are oil tanker offloading in oilfields while fixing the position very close to the off-loading equipment. Diving vessels also fix their positions while having divers or remote operated vehicles in the water.
