K-Sim Offshore offers a unique, complete and structured method to test procedures and build competence
In advanced offshore operations, practicing standard procedures and emergency situations prior to a mission is crucial to ensure safety and efficiency during often complex operations. While training on actual vessels, rigs and cranes can be too costly, risky or impractical, simulation training provides the best solution to ensure your crew performs with the precision and high standards required.
The K-Sim Offshore provides a safe and cost-effective virtual, yet fully realistic training environment. In the simulator mistakes can become lessons learnt without risking lives or damage to vessels, equipment or the environment.
MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE
K-Sim Offshore simulators provide training for most types of offshore vessels and configurations. The simulator system integrates with an advanced physics engine, in addition to hydrodynamic modelling. This allows vessels, objects and equipment to behave and interact realistically. which is extremely important for making competence training adaptable to real-life operations.
In a simulator, crew and operators are able to:
• test scenarios prior to a mission
• learn and practice daily procedures
• develop attitudes & best practice
• enhance team skills & understanding
• gain vital skills crucial for handling emergencies
With growing complexity of vessels and zero room for errors, the opportunity to practice situations that crew hopefully never will experience, but have to be able to handle, is crucial to safety

K-SIM OFFSHORE OFFERS WORLD-CLASS SIMULATION
K-Sim Offshore is the essence of high-fidelity simulation. It has a modular design and can be equipped with all the instrumentations and controls necessary to operate a wide variety of workplaces, such as offshore support vessel forward and aft bridges, mobile offshore unit control room and crane operator cabin.
Accurate real-time physical modelling ensures that for instance anchor chains, lines and crane wires, behave realistically with the tension and forces exhibited in the real world. All objects in the visual scene behave realistically with rigid body dynamics, friction and collision detection, which is extremely important for a realistic learning experience.
Together with a state-of-the-art 3D visual system and the many integration possibilities with additional equipment and simulators, K-Sim Offshore has been recognized as the most advanced simulator within offshore vessel operation training.
CUSTOMIZED TO MEET SPECIFIC TRAINING OBJECTIVES
K-Sim Offshore is extremely flexible and can be customized to meet your exact training requirement and budget. It can be delivered from a PC based desktop system through to a fully equipped aft and forward bridge, optionally on a six degrees of freedom motion platform.
The flexibility of K Sim Offshore enables expansion at any time, either with new instruments, workstations and complete integrated bridge systems, or even with other simulators for crew resource management training.
INTEGRATED oFFSHORE TEAM TRAINING
For operations in environments where human error can have devastating effects, it’s often required to train essential crew in the same exercise. K-Sim Offshore supports interdepartmental crew training through interface to other K-Sim simulators, including: Navigation, Offshore Crane, Engine and Dynamic Positioning. The integrated solution enables focus on vital human factors such as:
- situational awareness
- interaction and team-work
- interpersonal communication
- leadership and decision making
OFFSHORE WIND tRAINING
K-Sim Offshore provides training for wind farm operations, such as:
- Ship handling and tugging related to wind turbine installations
- Vessel on DP and in close proximity of wind-farm installations
- Jacking operations, ballasting and levelling
- Crane operations during erection of wind turbine
- Installation of towers, nacelles and blade
- Walk-to-work gangway operations
- Wind farm foundation installation vessel operations
- Subsea construction, ROV, cable lay and trenching operations
K-SIM® OFFSHORE CRANE OPERATOR TRAINING
Our offshore crane simulator system, the K-Sim® Offshore Crane, offers an efficient method of training crane operators in the complex interaction between the crane and the ship’s bridge, deck and platform. The simulator system can be configured for crane operations on various offshore vessels and platforms. It is certified by DNV and meets a range of training objectives for individual task and team training, such as:
- Internal lift crane operations on offshore platforms and vessels
- Platform to ship and ship to ship operations
- Subsea crane operations including Active Heave Compensation
- Heavy lift operations
K-Sim Offshore Crane is a "force multiplier" for Heerema's offshore operations
