This paper presents a design method of dynamic positioning control system in view ofpractical design concept for reliability and robust realization. This method adopts a design method of multivariable robust servo system. The practical experiments of the dynamic positioning control were carried out for a semi-submersible 2-lower hull type platform model with 4 rotatable thrusters in a small water tank. The results fo overall experiment show that the proposed position control method will be an efficient method to the better control performance of dynamic positioning system under serere environment and it is substentially practicable for the platform.
