A drive-off prevention controller for a dynamic positioning system, the drive off prevention controller being configured to communicate with the dynamic positioning system, wherein the dynamic positioning system is configured to determine a position of a vessel relative to a target position and to control a propulsion system of the vessel based on the determined position of the vessel relative to the target position; and the drive-off prevention controller is configured to, based on one or more indicative conditions, selectively adjust the control of the propulsion system determined by the dynamic positioning system or that would otherwise have been determined by the dynamic positioning system; and at least one of the indicative conditions comprises the demand, or rate of increase in demand, of the propulsion system being greater than a first conditional threshold whilst weather or environmental data received by the drive-off prevention controller indicates that there has been no corresponding change in weather or environmental conditions.
