The Norwegian company Kongsberg will deliver Dynamic Positioning simulators to the Indonesia-based maritime training centre PT Azureus Simulator Asia in Jakarta. The equipment will reach the Indonesian capital this June.
According to Kongsberg PT Azureus Simulato[ds_preview]r Asia is the first Indonesian training centre to utilise its DP simulators. The contract scope of supply includes delivery of a full-mission, Nautical Institute Class A K-Sim DP Manoeuvring Trainer, offering highly realistic hands-on DP training based on real Kongsberg K-Pos DP technology and featuring a 240° field of view for in-depth immersion.
Kongsberg Digital has developed a physics engine and models for realistic offshore operations using the K-Pos DP system as a basis. With K-Pos DP’s global market share, PT Azureus Simulator Asia selected K-Sim DP to ensure its students trained on the systems they will be evaluated on by employers, and use during daily operations at sea the developer stated.
The Norwegians will also provide six desktop configured K-Pos Basic DP Trainer simulators and an instructor station for a new DP classroom at PT Azureus Simulator Asia, in addition to developing specific regional area models so students can train on realistic simulations of the same environments that their vessels are working in.
