Kongsberg - Dynamic Positioning Simulators
With more than 30 years of experience gained from close to 1500 DP systems in operation KONGSBERG has established itself as a pioneer and industry standard within the dynamic positioning industry. The same unique experience, knowledge and equipment are transferred and used in our DP simulators, making it possible to offer our customers a totally integrated simulator from one supplier, KONGSBERG.
Introduction
KONGSBERG DP Simulators offer great flexibility to fit a wide range of training objectives, including DPO certification. KONGSBERG simulators have the necessary fidelity and realism required for engineering and mission planning, as well as assessment of existing or new crews, where various challenging operations can be evaluated, studied and optimized safely in the simulator.
As the leading developer of sophisticated DP simulators, KONGSBERG offer several tailored solutions in compliance with all the latest training regulations.
Realistically simulated operations
Kongsberg DP simulators are designed to support operations, to test procedures, increase competence and to minimise errors, thereby reducing the amount of errors and ultimately the cost of incidents during DP operation. Examples of offshore operations that can be realistically simulated are:
- Close proximity ship handling in offshore areas, e.g. platform support vessels approach to platforms, buoys and FPSOs
- Realistic offshore loading such as buoy loading, tandem loading and tug assistance
- Offshore operations; supply-, construction- and dive support vessels etc.
- Semi-submersible/drilling vessel station keeping with use of DP during drilling operations
- Emergency manoeuvring
Instructor system
The instructor station will access all exercise and environmental conditions, introduce failures and situations where the operator must take corrective actions. The instructor can e.g.. initiate loss of thrusters and generators and create noise in sensor readings and position reference systems.
The instructor has the same range of information in "feedback" from the students. Faults and errors introduced, will force the trainee to e.g. find another thrusters allocation, start emergency generators and other systems, or selecting another sensor- or position reference system. A full set of sensor systems, fully interfaced to the DP system, are available with instructor controlled faults, noise and interference.
DNV Certification
Dynamic Positioning Simulators are certified by Det Norske Veritas according to Standard for Certification of Maritime Simulators No. 2.14 and cover Class A, B and C – fully compliant with STCW`s latest requirements for training purposes.
