That is a sweet animation of the system!
Interesting that they seem targeted to the yacht sector and not the DP2 sector for offshore drilling.
There may be regulatory hurdles that are different for the offshore drilling DP2 certification, just guessing.
edit- DP2 is a dynamic positioning qualification that applies to drilling vessels and supply vessels (among other things) and it means the vessel can hold position automatically. The "2" means it has complete redundancy so if any part fails the vessel will still hold station by using the backup for the failed component.
