Winners will be announced during ONS 2012 The new Kongsberg Offshore Vessel Simulator - Deck Operator Trainer (seismic streamer function) and the Kongsberg Evotec Bulk Hose Securing Unit have both been nominated for the ONS Innovation Awards, the winners of which will be announced during ONS 2012 at a special innovation lunch on Wednesday 29 August 2012.Developed as part of Kongsberg Maritime's leading Offshore Vessel Simulator, in co-operation with Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS), the seismic streamer function of the Kongsberg Offshore Vessel Simulator - Deck Operator Trainer is based on the PGS seismic vessel, Ramform Viking. The Deck Operator Trainer offers a wealth of new training possibilities. The new seismic streamer function nominated for the award is designed to train engineers and crew in seismic streamer deck handling. It is currently installed and being used to train PGS operators at Vestfold University College in Norway.The seismic streamer function of the Kongsberg Offshore Vessel Simulator - Deck Operator Trainer utilises the KinectTM for Windows motion sensing device, to track students' movements and display them on a high-fidelity virtual representation of a streamer deck, viewed across three vertically mounted 65″ TFT-LCD screens. The simulator consists of three stations using this set-up, allowing for ...

Navigation, engine room and Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) simulator hardware and software Kongsberg Maritime has been chosen to supply a suite of upgraded navigation, engine room and Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) simulator hardware and software for an extensive facilities upgrade to the School of Simulation & Senior Marine at South Tyneside College. The upgrade project is being carried out during the summer and will include installation of the simulation systems and improvements to the buildings that house them.The project will feature a total refurbishment for the main Polaris bridge simulator, which includes two full-mission bridges and four part task bridges, with brand new consoles including K-Bridge and Polaris Radar ARPA upgrades and the introduction of Multiflex panels, which offer the ability to change functionality through software, rather than swapping out hardware panels. The bridge will benefit from a brand new projection system that is twice as bright and provides twice the resolution of the existing system, while all standard PCs will be replaced and the computer network upgraded from CAT5 to CAT6 cabling.The School of Simulation & Senior Marine's full mission engine room simulator will be upgraded to Kongsberg Maritime's flexible solutions, which includes multiple use of touch screen technology. ...

Maritime training simulators Superior Energy Services of Houston, Texas, took delivery of one of the most advanced maritime training simulators ever developed, in April 2012. The next-generation simulator from Kongsberg Maritime will be used to provide integrated, real-time training for Superior's offshore marine personnel at its new facility in Anchorage, Alaska.Under the terms of the contract, signed September 2011, Kongsberg Maritime supplied Superior Energy Marine Technical Services with a full mission trainer in support of critical operations including ship bridge maneuvering and navigation, anchor handling, ROV operations, crane operations, process control, containment, and controlled pumping and flaring of hydrocarbons.The system supports the full spectrum of offshore Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) activities in support of developing best practices for both surface and sub-sea marine practices - all conducted in real time and in the safety of a simulated environment. The simulator features two full offshore service vessel bridges, with 360 degree field of view, an offshore crane simulator, supplied by KONGSBERG company, GlobalSim, a DeepWorks ROV simulator, supplied to KONGSBERG by Fugro Subsea Services Ltd and a separate Process Simulator, for operator training and control system checkout in addition to multiphase flow simulation, supplied by Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies.Superior's working relationship ...
