The Need for Simulators in the Offshore Industry

KONGSBERG is a major supplier of DP (Dynamic Positioning), navigation & maneuvering systems, automation and surveillance solutions, process automation, satellite navigation and hydroacoustics. By building on our experience as a supplier of real maritime equipment and systems, we have for 35 years developed high quality simulation solutions. As an innovator in the world of maritime simulation, we have a long tradition of cooperation with ship owners and training centres worldwide and today we stand as a solid international market leader of maritime, offshore and naval ship simulators. KONGSBERG is dedicated to develop and fulfil the simulation needs of the offshore industry.

Competence saves money and the environment

For offshore vessel owners and operators, competence is the key to safety, reliability and economy. Safety reduces the risk of injuries to personnel and minimises the risk of damage to the environment. Reliability minimises the ever increasing cost of being off-hire; and welltrained competent personnel improve the efficiency and economy of offshore operations. Onboard training using real equipment presents a number of challenges, such as increased risk to personnel and equipment. Limited access to expensive marine assets and the high cost of training offshore are causing customers to turn increasingly to simulation technology as a cost-effective alternative. By using todays simulation solutions from KONGSBERG, personnel competence can be achieved in a safer manner, with greater scheduling flexibility and economies of scale.

Educating the best personnel

Compared to conventional training, simulators offer a more structured method of building high levels of competence. During simulation training, one can isolate and freeze each sub-system to understand and acquire knowledge, perform critical operations repeatedly and develop attitudes by training on critical operations demanding complex decision making. Through the use of advanced assessment systems, simulator training can help to isolate areas requiring improvement and support the development of tailor-made exercises for critical as well as day-to-day operations. In this way, the training will focus on bringing out the best in every student.

KONGSBERGs solution
KONGSBERG believes in cooperation with customers to ensure that use of our simulators will reflect real operations and maximise the time and money spent. Today, our range of simulators includes training solutions for e.g., navigation, anchor handling, crane and winch operations, DP, tugging, engine room and cargo & ballast handling. All our simulators provide high fidelity real-time simulation, supporting safe and cost-efficient training of offshore crew and system specialists. Trainees experience great realism through the use of physical modelling with true forces and collision detection. Faults and alarms have cascading effects throughout systems if not acknowledged properly. In addition to high levels of realism, KONGSBERG simulators offer user-friendliness and flexibility. These are key features for providing simulators suitable for competence training as well as studies, operation planning and verification of work procedures for ship owners, operators and training centres worldwide.

KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator

The worlds most advanced simulator
The KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator offers the industry a complete training system that increases competence, reduces vessel down-time and avoids mistakes that cause accidents and damage to equipment. The simulator is especially designed to train in best practice and to build competence even for the most critical operations. It is a perfect tool for offshore vessel crew to enhance skills on special tasks as well as for team training. It makes mission-planning and training of safety procedures possible before executing real operations for normal as well as for the extreme situations that will be experienced in the rugged offshore environment.

The importance of realism

The simulators instrumentation looks, functions and feels like the real equipment used in the offshore industry. Optimal realistic vessel movements are achieved in the hydrodynamic offshore vessel models with real-time stability calculations and full dynamic loading, with effects such as over-icing, crane operations and ballast system. Physical design and modelling with interaction/friction between the vessel and objects such as chain, wire, anchor, shackle etc. gives the feeling of being onboard a real offshore vessel. The simulator can visualise aft and forward bridge views, by toggling during the exercise. It takes full advantage of the KONGSBERG SeaView visual system, known for its very high degree of realism in details, depth perception, motions and the ability to create the various conditions experienced at sea. The level of detail found in SeaView is unique in ship simulation and meets the requirements of the most demanding navigational tasks.

Maximum flexibility
The KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator allows modular design and is scalable from a PC desktop to a full mission ships bridge system. Several ships bridge simulators can be connected together to train ship-to-ship interaction as well as multi-vessel coordinated operations. The instructor system can be operated from one or several stations based on the training requirements, e.g., when running a training scenario with multiple vessels. KONGSBERG has developed a set of standard instrument panels and bridge equipment complete with controls and functions necessary to train operations such as tugging, towing, anchor handling and offshore supply. Customised solutions, such as individual bridge lay-out, configuration and integration to real ships bridge equipment are available. The offshore simulator includes power management and can be integrated with other KONGSBERG and third party simulators to allow crew to perform simulator training 1:1 with the real offshore vessel environment.

The Instructor System
The Instructor System is designed to enhance the quality of simulation training by providing complete, intuitive and user-friendly control of student exercises. It enables the instructor to develop customised exercise modules for individuals, teams or a combination of both, with fully controllable areas such as: Initial condition define all the variables at the start of the exercise (ship model, exercise area, targets, equipment on deck, etc) Student station configuration define what information is accessible and visible to students Actions derived from Input variables and malfunctions, that can be initiated instantaneously, or pre-programmed as part of the exercise, e.g., engine breakdown or loose/stuck wire in the winch Underwater view - observe the realistic behaviour of the chain and anchor below the water to monitor the students performance Men on deck control - control movement and actions of vessel deck crew Crane operation control - take the role of crane operator on a drilling rig or onboard the vessel, of communication with the bridge Rig winch operators - role of winch operator on a drilling rig Tow master - take the role of tow master, located on a drilling rig Assessment monitor and assess alarms, and any of the variables in the simulation models Recording of all activity during the simulation exercise takes place automatically. Review/debriefing can include the replay of the entire exercise or any selected segments in order to focus on specific learning objectives. A unique resume function allows for an exercise to be stopped and started at any time. If a student begins to fail in a particular operation, the instructor can pause the simulation to give guidance or advice. The instructor can also go back to any earlier point in time and restart from there. With the KONGSBERG Instructor System, monitoring, assessment and debriefing has never been easier.

Detailed ship models, targets and objects

The KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator is a result of the companys strong focus on R&D, ensuring that the fidelity of the modelling is as accurate and realistic as possible. Our hydrodynamic modelling ensures that the vessel reacts in full six-degrees of freedom according to the forces from wave action, current and wind; and applies real-time stability calculations. KONGSBERG offers a large selection of relevant vessels, platforms, cranes, helicopters, buoys and other special objects, which allows creation of the perfect training situation. Controlled from the Instructor Station, target ships are highly detailed. They are capable of showing various day symbols and lighting configurations indicating their status, activity and type of operation. The available KONGSBERG database modeling workstation enables users to create their own highly detailed visual models.

Multiple exercise areas

To ensure realistic, quality training based on simulation, it is necessary to have geographical exercise areas that correspond exactly to the environments one will experience in real life operations. KONGSBERG has the worlds largest library of exercise areas with new areas added on a continuous basis. Common exercise areas supplied with the Offshore Vessel Simulator include, radar, depth, buoy, chart and visual files. By using the Student Field Chart, exercise areas such as oil fields can be created to fit local requirements for DP and anchor operations.

Dynamic Positioning Trainers & Simulators

Dynamic Positioning Simulation
A seagoing vessel is subject to the forces of wind, waves and current and those generated by the propulsion system. The DP system calculates the forces that the thrusters must produce in order to control the vessels motion, so the competence of DP operators is therefore essential. The KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator can be fully integrated with the KONGSBERG DP System. It exactly mirrors the real-life DP systems that KONGSBERG has installed on hundreds of vessels, making it possible to perform complete training covering platform support, realistic offshore loading operations, close proximity operations in offshore oilfields and emergency manoeuvres. In addition to the DP application offered with the KONGSBERG Offshore Vessel Simulator, various simulators for DP training are available, including: Basic DP Trainers Advanced DP Trainers DP Manouvering Simulator

NEPTUNE Cargo & Ballast Handling Simulator

LNG Cargo Handling Simulation
KONGSBERGs NEPTUNE cargo handling simulators for LNG and LPG tankers are designed for training of new students as well as experienced deck officers. All of the simulators are based on real ships giving a truly genuine vessel specific experience. Our LNG simulators are available for spherical and membrane design vessels. KONGSBERG is advancing the level of realism and training applications of its membrane LNG simulator through the integration of the KONGSBERG AIM Control System. Typical training objectives are system familiarization, special operations and procedures, cargo and ballast operations, and emergency procedures.

Ballast Handling Simulation

Handling of a Semi-Submersible Platform is a demanding and complex task. Technical, commercial, environmental and safety requirements will always represent critical, and often conflicting, factors that must be dealt with during the platform operations. This places immense pressure on personnel, and demands a clear understanding of system operations in all conditions; simulation. The purpose of KONGSBERGs ballast handling simulator is to provide a training tool that gives a realistic replication of the dynamic behavior of a mobile drilling platform for ballast and position keeping systems. In this manner, knowledge in ballast control can be acquired without hazardous or devastating consequences.
