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.

Training designed for all competence levels

Fully compliant with the STCW Regulation I/12 and DNV‑ST‑0033 standards, the model supports competence development for junior, senior and chief engineers, covering:
  • Basic engine‑room operations
  • Emergency handling and troubleshooting
  • Fuel‑efficient and energy‑conscious operation through controlled scenario‑based exercises
