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. One can perform critical operations repeatedly to acquire skills, and test and develop attitudes by training in situations that demand complex decision making. 

Proper simulator training is an effective way to build crew competence, and provide confidence and relevant experience. Simulators can maximize performance and lead to enhanced operational safety and efficiency.

Through the use of physical models, real time simulation models are completely integrated to produce a ‘domino effect’ on adjacent subsystems. Faults and alarms will have cascading effects throughout the system if not acknowledged properly. In addition to an extremely high level of realism, the K Sim Cargo and K-Sim Ballast simulators offer user-friendliness and flexibility, key features for providing high levels of instructor control and greater variety of course offerings – capabilities demanded by shipowners and training institutes worldwide.
