Full‑mission Dynamic Positioning training with high‑fidelity bridge operations

K‑Sim DP Maneuvering – Class A is a full‑mission Dynamic Positioning (DP) simulator designed to replicate the operational environment of a modern offshore vessel bridge. With advanced visual systems, realistic hydrodynamic behaviour and full integration with bridge equipment, it enables comprehensive DP training for complex, high‑risk operations at the highest regulatory standard.

A full‑mission simulator for advanced offshore competence

The Class A simulator delivers the highest level of DP realism available within the K‑Sim DP product family. It is built for demanding DP training scenarios where operational detail, vessel behavior and bridge team coordination all play a critical role. With a minimum 180° (aft) or 210° (forward) horizontal field of view—expandable to 360°—trainees experience a fully immersive environment that mirrors real‑world offshore operations.

Fully compliant with NI and DNV requirements

The simulator meets the requirements of both the Nautical Institute and DNV Class A, supporting advanced DP Simulator courses, sea‑time reduction program and revalidation training. Its high‑fidelity configuration enables training centers to deliver all course levels defined by international DP training schemes.

Integrated bridge systems for realistic operations

Class A integrates K‑Pos DP systems with a full suite of navigational and offshore bridge equipment. This allows operators, engineers and bridge teams to train on advanced operations such as offshore loading, subsea work, construction support and emergency handling. The simulator supports team‑based exercises that strengthen communication, decision‑making and situational awareness—key skills for safe offshore operations.
