KONGSBERG is a major supplier of DP (Dynamic Positioning), navigation & maneuvering systems, automation and surveillance solutions,

process automation, satellite navigation and hydroacoustics. By building on our experience as a supplier of real maritime equipment and systems,

we have for 35 years developed high quality simulation solutions. As an innovator in the world of maritime simulation, we have a long

tradition of cooperation with ship owners and training centres worldwide and today we stand as a solid international market leader of maritime,offshore and naval ship simulators. KONGSBERG is dedicated to develop and full the simulation needs of the offshore industry.

Competence saves money and the environmentFor offshore vessel owners and operators, competence is the key to safety, reliability and economy. Safety reduces the risk of injuries to

personnel and minimises the risk of damage to the environment. Reliability minimises the ever increasing cost of being off-hire; and well-

trained competent personnel improve the efciency and economy of offshore operations. Onboard training using real equipment presents

a number of challenges, such as increased risk to personnel and equipment. Limited access to expensive marine assets and the high cost of

training offshore are causing customers to turn increasingly to simulation technology as a cost-effective alternative. By using todays simulation

solutions from KONGSBERG, personnel competence can be achieved in a safer manner, with greater scheduling exibility and economies of

scale.

Educating the best personnelCompared to conventional training, simulators offer a more structured method of building high levels of competence. During simulation training, one

can isolate and freeze each sub-system to understand and acquire knowledge, perform critical operations repeatedly and develop attitudes by

training on critical operations demanding complex decision making. Through the use of advanced assessment systems, simulator training can

help to isolate areas requiring improvement and support the development of tailor-made exercises for critical as well as day-to-day operations.

In this way, the training will focus on bringing out the best in every student.

KONGSBERGs solutionKONGSBERG believes in cooperation with customers to ensure that use of our simulators will reect real operations and maximise the time

and money spent. Today, our range of simulators includes training solutions for e.g., navigation, anchor handling, crane and winch operations,

DP, tugging, engine room and cargo & ballast handling. All our simulators provide high delity real-time simulation, supporting safe and

cost-efcient training of offshore crew and system specialists. Trainees experience great realism through the use of physical modelling with

true forces and collision detection. Faults and alarms have cascading effects throughout systems if not acknowledged properly. In addition to

high levels of realism, KONGSBERG simulators offer user-friendliness and exibility. These are key features for providing simulators suitable for

competence training as well as studies, operation planning and verication of work procedures for ship owners, operators and training centres

worldwide.

The worlds most advanced simulatorThe KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator offers the industry a

complete training system that increases competence, reduces vessel

down-time and avoids mistakes that cause accidents and damage toequipment.

The simulator is especially designed to train in best practice and to

build competence even for the most critical operations. It is a perfect

tool for offshore vessel crew to enhance skills on special tasks as well

as for team training. It makes mission-planning and training of safety

procedures possible before executing real operations for normal as

well as for the extreme situations that will be experienced in the rugged

offshore environment.

The importance of realismThe simulators instrumentation looks, functions and feels like the

real equipment used in the offshore industry. Optimal realistic vessel

movements are achieved in the hydrodynamic offshore vessel models

with real-time stability calculations and full dynamic loading, with

effects such as over-icing, crane operations and ballast system. Physical

design and modelling with interaction/friction between the vessel

and objects such as chain, wire, anchor, shackle etc. gives the feeling

of being onboard a real offshore vessel.

The simulator can visualise aft and forward bridge views, by toggling

during the exercise. It takes full advantage of the KONGSBERG

SeaView visual system, known for its very high degree of realism

in details, depth perception, motions and the ability to create the

various conditions experienced at sea. The level of detail found in

SeaView is unique in ship simulation and meets the requirements of

the most demanding navigational tasks.

Maximum exibilityThe KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator allows modular design

and is scalable from a PC desktop to a full mission ships bridge

system. Several ships bridge simulators can be connected together

to train ship-to-ship interaction as well as multi-vessel coordinated

operations. The instructor system can be operated from one or several

stations based on the training requirements, e.g., when running a

training scenario with multiple vessels.

KONGSBERG has developed a set of standard instrument panels and

bridge equipment complete with controls and functions necessary

to train operations such as tugging, towing, anchor handling and

offshore supply.

Customised solutions, such as individual bridge lay-out, congu-

ration and integration to real ships bridge equipment are available.

The offshore simulator includes power management and can be

integrated with other KONGSBERG and third party simulators to allow

crew to perform simulator training 1:1 with the real offshore vessel

environment.

The Instructor SystemThe Instructor System is designed to enhance the quality of simulation

training by providing complete, intuitive and user-friendly control

of student exercises. It enables the instructor to develop customisedexercise modules for individuals, teams or a combination of both, with

fully controllable areas such as:

Initial condition dene all the variables at the start of the exercise

(ship model, exercise area, targets, equipment on deck, etc)

Student station conguration dene what information is accessible

and visible to students

Actions derived from Input variables and malfunctions, that can

be initiated instantaneously, or pre-programmed as part of the

exercise, e.g., engine breakdown or loose/stuck wire in the winch

Underwater view - observe the realistic behaviour of the chain and

anchor below the water to monitor the students performance

Men on deck control - control movement and actions of vessel

deck crew

Crane operation control - take the role of crane operator on a

drilling rig or onboard the vessel, of communication with the bridge

Rig winch operators - role of winch operator on a drilling rig

Tow master - take the role of tow master, located on a drilling rig

Assessment monitor and assess alarms, and any of the variables

in the simulation models

Recording of all activity during the simulation exercise takes place

automatically. Review/debrieng can include the replay of the entireexercise or any selected segments in order to focus on specic

learning objectives. A unique resume function allows for an exercise

to be stopped and started at any time. If a student begins to fail in a

particular operation, the instructor can pause the simulation to give

guidance or advice. The instructor can also go back to any earlier

point in time and restart from there. With the KONGSBERG Instructor

System, monitoring, assessment and debrieng has never been easier.

Detailed ship models, targets and objectsThe KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator is a result of the companys

strong focus on R&D, ensuring that the delity of the modelling is as

accurate and realistic as possible. Our hydrodynamic modelling ensuresthat the vessel reacts in full six-degrees of freedom according to

the forces from wave action, current and wind; and applies real-time

stability calculations.

KONGSBERG offers a large selection of relevant vessels, platforms,

cranes, helicopters, buoys and other special objects, which allows creation

of the perfect training situation. Controlled from the Instructor Station,

target ships are highly detailed. They are capable of showing various

day symbols and lighting congurations indicating their status, activity

and type of operation. The available KONGSBERG database modeling

workstation enables users to create their own highly detailed visual

models.

Multiple exercise areasTo ensure realistic, quality training based on simulation, it is necessary

to have geographical exercise areas that correspond exactly to the

environments one will experience in real life operations. KONGSBERG

has the worlds largest library of exercise areas with new areas added

on a continuous basis. Common exercise areas supplied with the

Offshore Vessel Simulator include, radar, depth, buoy, chart and visual

les. By using the Student Field Chart, exercise areas such as oil elds

can be created to t local requirements for DP and anchor operations.

Anchor Handling SimulationIt is possible to carry out realistic training on critical anchor handling

operations under safe conditions using the KONGSBERG OffshoreVessel Simulator.

The simulator provides a range of anchor models, wires, chains

and bre ropes realistically modelled according to real physics and

interaction between objects, all based on the tension and forces of

real equipment.

Whether you choose a full mission or a desktop system, the students

or employees will learn a vast variety of skills thanks to the pedagogical

values and high delity realism our simulator system offers.

At our Kongsberg Offshore Vessel Simulator, our students have broken equipment worth almost 180million US Dollars during the last 10 years. If we have prevented just 5% of these accidents from happening in

real life, we still will have saved Maersk Supply Service millions and millions of dollars.

method of training crew and operators in the complex interaction

between the ships bridge, platform crane operator and deck.

The simulator can be congured in different ways and with different

cranes, in order to satisfy various training goals: Stand-alone crane operator training for offshore crane operators,

enabling training according to G-5, G-20

Integrated with the Offshore Vessel Simulator enabling simultaneous

training scenarios such as:

- Offshore vessel lifting operations involving bridge, deck crew and

vessel-mounted crane operator. This scenario can be expanded to

include interface with ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) simulator

to include training operations below water

- Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) operations involving bridge, deck

crew and platform crane operator, for training of materials handling

between OSV and platform deck

In offshore crane simulation, KONGSBERG builds on the cooperation

with GlobalSim Inc., a 100% owned KONGSBERG company and the

world leader in the development of sophisticated crane operator

simulators.

With the Master Lift Training System, GlobalSim provides the most

advanced crane training simulator on the market. The simulators

realistically replicate the operating characteristics of the actual

equipment in a safe and reliable training platform. Master Lift

allows operators to immediately apply classroom knowledge into

real applications. The training experience prepares crane operators

to be the most efcient in the industry.

Tug SimulationThe KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator can be congured with

one or several tug simulator control consoles to support a full range

of tugboat operation exercises for tug masters and pilots. This givesthe crew the possibility to conduct cost-efcient procedural training

and safe mission rehearsal prior to complex operations.

The tug simulation capabilities incorporate a comprehensive model

of the tugs hull form, propulsion system, towline characteristics

and winch arrangements. The motion and dynamics are completely

synchronised to wave action and sea state, while the visual scene

shows features and effects creating an impressive, realistic training

environment.

KONGSBERG also offers tug simulation by customising our POLARIS

ships bridge simulator with the required tug control consoles,

creating a complete tugboat simulator. This simulator can interact

seamlessly with a large (full mission) ships bridge simulator, to

support joint pilot/tug master training, e.g., emergency preparation

and management scenarios.

Dynamic Positioning SimulationA seagoing vessel is subject to the forces of wind, waves and current and

those generated by the propulsion system. The DP system calculates the

forces that the thrusters must produce in order to control the vesselsmotion, so the competence of DP operators is therefore essential.

The KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator can be fully integrated

with the KONGSBERG DP System. It exactly mirrors the real-life DP

systems that KONGSBERG has installed on hundreds of vessels,

making it possible to perform complete training covering platform

support, realistic offshore loading operations, close proximity

operations in offshore oilelds and emergency manoeuvres.

In addition to the DP application offered with the KONGSBERG

Offshore Vessel Simulator, various simulators for DP training are

available, including:

Basic DP Trainers

LNG Cargo Handling SimulationKONGSBERGs NEPTUNE cargo handling simulators for LNG and

LPG tankers are designed for training of new students as well as

experienced deck ofcers. All of the simulators are based on real ships giving a truly genuine vessel specic experience.

Our LNG simulators are available for spherical and membrane design

vessels. KONGSBERG is advancing the level of realism and training

applications of its membrane LNG simulator through the integration

of the KONGSBERG AIM Control System.

Typical training objectives are system familiarization, special opera-

tions and procedures, cargo and ballast operations, and emergency

procedures.

Ballast Handling SimulationHandling of a Semi-Submersible Platform is a demanding and complex

task. Technical, commercial, environmental and safety requirements

will always represent critical, and often conicting, factors that mustbe dealt with during the platform operations. This places immense

pressure on personnel, and demands a clear understanding of system

operations in all conditions; simulation.

The purpose of KONGSBERGs ballast handling simulator is to provide a

training tool that gives a realistic replication of the dynamic behavior

of a mobile drilling platform for ballast and position keeping systems.

In this manner, knowledge in ballast control can be acquired without

hazardous or devastating consequences.

NEPTUNE Cargo & Ballast Handling Simulator

Co-located with our KONGSBERG liquid cargo simulator, the KONGSBERG 2-DOF full mission ballast

control room simulator and related ve part-task desktop simulators have been in operation since 1994.

The installed mathematical model of the semi-submersible mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) forms

part of our offshore training markets. With instructor control and full remote monitoring of the simulator,

the system covers all ballast control room training requirements for our customers.
