High‑fidelity simulation for efficient engine room training
K-Sim Engine is a sophisticated engine room simulator system for training students and crew in basic and advanced scenarios including fuel economy, emission reduction, and emergencies. The K-Sim Engine product family includes a range of engine models which are certified by DNV and exceed IMO's STCW requirements for training.
Flexible learning solutions – from desktop to full mission
-
Full mission - Class A
Provide full familiarization!
The full mission system is compliant with DNV’s Class A certification and includes an instructor station, an engine control room and an engine room with all the equipment needed. Some models can be delivered with a 3D BigView and a 3D walk-through system optimizing the learning experience. By adding realistic engine room sounds, noises and alarms, total realism is achieved.
-
Desktop - Class C
Teaching the basics more efficiently!
The desktop solution fulfils DNV’s Class C requirements and is ideal for basic engine room training in a classroom setup. The system typically includes 1-25 student stations and 1-2 instructor stations to create and manage the simulation exercise.
-
Cloud-based - Class D
Enable training anytime & anywhere!
All K-Sim Engine models can be delivered as cloud-based training solutions through our K-Sim Connect portal. This online/eLearning solution is ideal for add-on training and complies with DNV’s Class D certification. It enables instructors to provide exercises outside school hours and -location.
Kongsberg Maritime’s simulators represent the latest in digital technology, allowing training from novice to expert level. Through the use of virtual reality and detailed data processing, Kongsberg Maritime creates realistic digital replicas of existing ships, providing a solid foundation for students’ understanding of systems and processes on board ships.
