K-Sim DP

Realistic, compliant and scalable DP training for all operational levels

K‑Sim DP provides highly realistic and standards‑compliant Dynamic Positioning (DP) training, supporting operator competence from introductory to advanced offshore operations. Built on the same technology used in K‑Pos DP systems, it delivers a complete, flexible training environment that strengthens safety, decision‑making and operational performance.

Empower Dynamic Positoning Operator (DPO) training with K‑Sim DP

K‑Sim DP is an advanced simulator system designed to deliver precise and realistic Dynamic Positioning training. Powered by a high‑fidelity physics engine and hydrodynamic modelling, it accurately replicates vessel behaviour, environmental conditions and DP system responses. The simulator supports training across all DP competency levels—from basic familiarisation to full‑mission operation. Training centres can design exercises, assess performance and prepare operators for real‑world challenges in a controlled, safe environment.
Training compliance

K‑Sim DP is fully compliant with:

  • Nautical Institute DP training standards
  • DNV-ST‑0033 Maritime Simulator Systems
  • IMCA M117 and IMCA C 014 Rev. 4 guidelines
  • OSVDPA Simulator Standards Version 2

K-Sim DP configurations

K‑Sim DP is available in three configurations to support different training needs:
