Kongsberg Digital has launched one other superior simulation expertise as an internet coaching software on its digital platform. Called K-Sim Navigation CLOUD, it’s primarily based on Kongsberg’s well-regarded simulation expertise and was developed in a mission funded by Innovation Norway. The answer permits faculties and coaching facilities to offer high-quality simulation coaching in navigation and ship dealing with, together with ECDIS and radar. It is designed to offer primary navigation coaching in compliance with DNV’s Class D necessities.
For coaching institutes with onsite simulators, K-Sim Navigation CLOUD is well-suited for blended studying and as a complement to classroom or full-mission simulator coaching. The coaching software will also be used as a stand-alone provide by different coaching suppliers enabling them to offer their college students with simulation workout routines with out investing in {hardware}.
Using a sophisticated physics engine and state-of-the-art hydrodynamic modeling, it supplies college students with extremely life like coaching utilizing vessels, objects, and gear that behave and work together as in actual life. A complicated new visible system powered by Unreal Engine brings vessels, geographical areas, and all doable climate circumstances to life.
The first coaching middle on this planet to supply K-Sim Navigation CLOUD to its college students would be the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP) within the Philippines, which began utilizing Kongsberg Digital’s K-Sim Connect platform in 2019 for cloud-based simulation coaching to enhance classroom training.
“Digitalization plays an increasingly major part in improving safety, efficiency and in contributing to more sustainable maritime operations. By combining our unique domain expertise in digital solutions with our broad experience in advanced simulation technology, we are proud to raise the bar for simulation training even further,” says Andreas Jagtøyen, Executive Vice President at Kongsberg Digital. “Following the success of our launch of cloud-based simulation solutions for engine and radar, amongst others, we have seen a great demand in the market to do the same with navigation. The advantages of online solutions are apparent; students and instructors will get increased flexibility, and the students will get much more volume training.”
