Even though the Maersk Forwarder is equipped with computerised Dynamic Positioning systems (DP), which can maintain the ships' position automatically, manual joystick maneuvering is frequently practiced. In adverse weather conditions or in case of DP break down, manual control is still often the best or only possible way to control the ship.
