K-Sim DP Basic - Class C
Entry‑level Dynamic Positioning training with K‑Pos functionality
K‑Sim DP Basic – Class C provides an efficient, compliant and highly accessible way to build foundational Dynamic Positioning (DP) competence. It is designed for training centres that need a reliable and authentic DP training tool for introductory and instrumentation‑level exercises, aligned with international DP training standards.
Customized for developing core DP skills
K‑Sim DP Basic is a limited‑task simulator tailored for early‑stage DP training, including blind maneuvering, joystick control and basic position keeping. Built on the same proven K‑Pos user interface used on board real K‑Pos‑equipped vessels, it gives students a realistic environment to learn industry‑standard DP principles and system handling.
Compliant with international training standards
The simulator fulfils the requirements for Nautical Institute DP Class C and DNV Class C, making it suitable for DP Induction courses and other basic training modules where consistent operational behavior, procedural understanding and user‑interface familiarity are essential.
Built on Kongsberg's DP expertise
As part of the K‑Sim DP family, the Class C simulator leverages more than 50 years of Kongsberg refinement in Dynamic Positioning technology. This ensures continuity between classroom learning and operational practice, while supporting a scalable training setup that can expand with future needs.
Key features
- Authentic K‑Pos user interface identical to operational K‑Pos systems on board vessels
- Automatic position keeping, including position and heading changes
- Follow Target, Autopilot and Auto Track modes for fundamental DP operations
- Simulated vessel behaviour with realistic response and motion characteristics
- Simulated sensors and position‑reference systems to support procedural learning
- Simulated thruster performance to train practical control handling
- Adjustable wind and current conditions for environmental response training
Key advantages
- Ideal for DP Induction‑level training, including instrumentation‑based and blind manoeuvring exercises
- Supports structured learning paths, aligned with NI and DNV Class C course requirements
- Low‑complexity and cost‑efficient, making it easy to introduce DP training programmes
- Consistent operational behaviour with higher‑class K‑Sim DP systems, enabling seamless progression to Class B and Class A simulators
- Scalable solution, with a clear upgrade path towards more advanced DP and full‑mission offshore simulation (K‑Sim Maneuvering, K‑Sim Offshore)
