K-Sim Engine MAK 8M32C Trawler M11
Advanced training simulator for medium‑speed propulsion on stern trawlers
K-Sim Engine MAK 8M32C Trawler M11
The K‑Sim Engine MaK 8M32C Trawler M11 delivers high‑fidelity simulation of a stern trawler powered by a MaK 8M32C medium‑speed diesel engine. It provides a realistic learning environment for operational, emergency and optimisation training for marine engineers.
Realistic simulation for comprehensive engine‑room training
K‑Sim Engine MaK 8M32C Trawler M11 model provides STCW-compliant simulator training for students and crew. The model simulates a complete propulsion plant featuring a MaK 8M32C medium‑speed, four‑stroke diesel engine driving a controllable‑pitch propeller. The engine model dynamically responds to changing vessel operations and environmental conditions, while the ship model mirrors the effects of engine adjustments.

Key advantages
- Supports both basic and advanced engine‑room competence development
- Enables realistic emergency and troubleshooting exercises
- Improves understanding of total plant operation through dynamic, ship‑model interaction
- Facilitates training in optimal operation, fuel economy and energy conservation without overstating environmental benefits (aligned with KM’s environmental messaging guidance)

Key features
- Realistic simulation of MaK 8M32C medium‑speed main engine with CP propeller
- Fully modelled electrical plant with diesel generators and shaft generator
- Steam plant with oil‑fired and auxiliary boilers
- Refrigeration system with two compartments
- Integrated automation, alarms, safety and power‑management systems
- Complete ECR operator stations, bridge panels and steering controls
- Seamless integration with K‑Sim Navigation for full vessel‑training scenarios
