Apix DP
The Compliance Operating System for Dynamic Positioning

Never be surprised
by an audit again.

APIX runs DP compliance across your entire fleet — preventing findings before they happen, proving conformity on demand, and surfacing exposure by exception. Built by Orbis Polaris, from real DP assurance practice.

Built on IMCA M117 · M273 · M109· IMO MSC.1/Circ.1580· DNV-ST-0023· OCIMF DP Assurance
The exposure

The finding you didn't see coming
is the one that costs you.

01

Findings surface at the audit, not before

By the time the auditor finds it, it's already a non-conformity — and a conversation with your client.

02

Evidence takes days to assemble — and rarely holds up

Records live in spreadsheets, inboxes and PDFs. Currency is checked by hand, the week before it matters.

03

No single view of fleet exposure

Risk hides between vessels. You can't act on what you can't see across the fleet at once.

What's at stake

In DP, a finding isn't a paperwork problem. It's a commercial one.

A single unresolved non-conformity can suspend a vessel's DP operations. On a DP-2/DP-3 asset, every hour of downtime is measured against a day-rate that runs into tens of thousands of dollars — before you count the client audit, the contractual exposure and the reputation.

Compliance isn't overhead. It's the licence to keep the vessel earning.
Unresolved finding IMCA / OVID / client audit DP operations suspended Downtime × day-rate $$$ / hr lost while idle Contractual exposure & reputation the cost that outlasts the downtime
How it works

Compliance that runs continuously —
not the week before an audit.

APIX turns DP compliance into a single operating loop. It watches every requirement, prevents the drift, generates the evidence, and shows you only what needs a decision — around the clock, across the fleet.

The Compliance Operating System Monitor currency & competence Prove Audit Ready Manage by exception Command Center Prevent findings, before they form
Outcome 01

Prevent findings

See what's drifting out of compliance 90 days out — and route the action before it becomes a finding.

Outcome 02

Prove compliance

Turn your live state into a defensible, presentation-grade dossier — on demand, in minutes.

Outcome 03

Manage by exception

Hold an entire fleet to standard by looking only at what actually needs a decision.

Prove compliance · Audit Ready

Walk into any audit with the evidence already assembled.

Audit Ready turns your live compliance state into a presentation-grade dossier — indicators, findings, improvement points and the evidence behind each one — for CMID, OVID, DNV-ST-0023 or a client review.

The report you used to spend a week assembling is one click. Every claim traces to its source.

Manage by exception · Command Center

See only what needs a decision — across the whole fleet.

The Command Center surfaces the handful of items that actually need the DP Authority — ranked by severity, each with its evidence. Approve, delegate or act. Everything else stays green and out of your way. When a vessel is out of compliance, it tells you exactly why — the rule, the record and the reference.

One authority can hold an entire fleet to standard — without reading every record.

Prevent findings · Compliance Engine

The finding that never happens — because you saw it 90 days out.

The Compliance Engine watches every certificate, drill, trial and currency threshold against IMCA M117 — continuously — and flags what's drifting before it becomes a finding, routing the action to the right person. Competence reports and development plans that took days are generated automatically, with a quality-assurance layer, so gaps get closed, not discovered at audit.

Prevention is cheaper than remediation. And far cheaper than downtime.

Defensibility

Every number on the platform traces back to a record.

APIX is built on an immutable evidence backbone. Assessments, drills, trials, certificates and vessel documentation (IMCA M109) live in one versioned source of truth. Nothing is asserted that can't be shown — to an auditor, a client, or a regulator.

Defensibility is the product. Everything else is how you get there.

Why this platform is different

Most software companies start with software.
We started with the audits.

APIX DP Suite is built by Orbis Polaris — a recognized authority in Dynamic Positioning assurance, training and consulting. Our teams are in the room for the trials, the audits and the findings. APIX digitizes that operational expertise. It doesn't guess what "good" looks like in DP — it encodes it.

Built from real assurance work

Documentation reviews, DP trials and audits across the offshore fleet — the work the platform is built from.

IMCA best practice, applied

M117, M273, M109 and the assurance frameworks encoded as rules, not marketing claims.

Built with practitioners

Designed by the people who sit in the audits — not engineers guessing at what compliance means.

You're not adopting a startup's opinion of compliance. You're adopting the standard the industry already trusts.
The economics

It pays for itself the first time it prevents downtime.

The value isn't a feature list — it's exposure removed. Protected day-rate from downtime avoided, manual compliance work taken off your team, and audit cycles that close in a fraction of the time. Measured against a single avoided suspension, the platform is a rounding error.

Day-rate protected+ downtime avoided Manual compliance work+ hours removed Audit preparation+ days → minutes Net value≫ platform cost
