Kongsberg Digital is to offer a 2nd complete objective K-Sim engine space simulator plan to Denmark’s biggest aquatic design college, Aarhus School of Marine and Technical Engineering (Aarhus Maskinmesterskole, or AAMS). This detailed distribution, set up for February 2024, consists of 3 engine designs to accomplish particular training goals for a series of modern-day propulsion and also engine kinds.
Notably, the engine space simulator plan includes a cruise ship ferryboat design customized to help with compulsory IGF code training for workers offering on LNG-fueled vessels. Additionally, Kongsberg Digital is readied to establish a completely brand-new engine design based upon the equipment arrangement of an innovative hybrid-driven seaside traveler vessel. This modern diesel/methanol electrical crossbreed design flaunts 4 double gas (MDO and also methanol) generators and also a 7500-kWh battery pack, carrying power to a high voltage switchboard.
In line with developing maritime market security and also ecological requirements, the brand-new engine space simulator design will certainly gear up trainees with unmatched effectiveness in handling hybrid power systems, methanol bunkering, and also methanol-powered engines. An extremely important emphasis of the training will certainly get on the secure handling of reduced flash factor gas, mitigating dangers not just to workers however additionally to the fragile aquatic community.
“At Kongsberg Digital, we are dedicated to shaping the future of maritime industry and education,” stated Are Tj ønn Føllesdal, handling supervisor of maritime simulations atKongsberg Digital “Our collaboration with Aarhus Maskinmesterskole underscores our commitment to empowering the next generation of maritime professionals with the knowledge and skills required to operate the complexities of the new engine types required for more sustainable sea transport.”
AAMS speaker Flemming Hauge Pedersen: “The innovative K-Sim Engine models will equip our students to confidently manage engine systems across a diverse range of vessels, including the most advanced ones. By training on models encompassing LNG, methanol, and battery-powered propulsion, our students are poised to lead in the era of next-generation green shipping.”
