An aquatic vessel comprising a control system for controlling the position of the vessel, the control system including one or more inputs for receiving real-time operational data in relation to flow conditions of the aquatic environment. The vessel has a dynamic positioning system and a navigational system connected to the dynamic positioning system, the navigational system comprising a data processing device and a plurality of motion sensors for continuously calculating the position, orientation and velocity of the vessel. Furthermore, a data processing device for generating data in relation to a plurality of possible failures of parts of the vessel is included, the data processing device being in communication with the control system which is thereby able to react in the event of an actual failure of a part of the vessel.
