SHIP'S BRIDGE SIMULATOR / NAVIGATION SIMULATOR
The K-Sim Navigation simulator provides students with highly realistic training using vessels, objects, and equipment that behave and interact as in real life thanks to an advanced physics engine and state-of-the-art hydrodynamic modelling. The sophisticated new visual system brings vessels and objects, including geographical exercise areas and all possible weather conditions, to life.
With K-Sim Navigation, instructors and students use the latest in advanced and integrated ship’s bridge simulation, giving them more realistic training scenarios and enhanced benefits. Specifically developed for the maritime education and training industry, K-Sim Navigation is certified by DNV and exceeds the existing STCW requirements.

MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE
K-Sim Navigation 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, students and crew and are able to:
- learn and practice daily procedures
- develop attitudes & best practice
- enhance team skills & understanding
- gain vital skills crucial for handling emergencies
- test scenarios prior to a mission
A new generation of training simulators is accelerating the prototyping, development and verification of autonomous systems for the smart shipping of the future

K-SIM nAVIGATION OFFERS WORLD-CLASS SIMULATION
K-Sim Navigation 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 Navigation has been recognized as the most advanced simulator within offshore vessel operation training.

INSTRUCTORS CREATE EXERCISES USING DRAG-AND-DROP
CHOOSE BETWEEN DESKTOP AND FULL MISSION SIMULATORS
The K-Sim Navigation is extremely flexible. To fit your exact requirements, the simulators can be configured for a desktop computer or an operational full mission simulator using custom panels and instruments. This gives a new level of realism, as crew can train on the identical equipment that they will later operate onboard ships.
CLOUD-BASED - Class D
K-Sim Navigation can be delivered as cloud-based training solutions through the K-Sim Connect portal. This is a online/eLearning solution compliant with DNV’s Class D certification. It enables students to carry out simulation training anytime and anywhere.
DESKTOP - Class C
The desktop solution fulfills DNV’s Class C requirements and is ideal for basic training in a class room set up. The system typically includes 1-25 student stations and 1-2 instructor stations to create and manage the simulation exercise.
PART TASK - Class B
The part task system is compliant with DNV’s Class B certification and includes an instructor station and a ship’s bridge environment fully equipped with navigation steering gear and instruments like ECDIS and Radar, including communication equipment. The system also includes a visual system of 120 to 240 degrees field of view.
FULL MISSION - Class A
The full mission system is compliant with DNV’s Class A certification and includes an instructor station and a ship’s bridge environment fully equipped with navigation steering gear and instruments like ECDIS and Radar, including communication equipment. The system also includes a visual system with up to 360 degrees filed of view.
CUSTOMIZED TO MEET SPECIFIC TRAINING OBJECTIVES
K-Sim Navigation 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 Navigation 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 TEAM TRAINING
K-Sim Navigation supports interdepartmental crew training through interface to other K-Sim simulators, including: Offshore, Engine, Cargo 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
NAVIGATION SIMULATOR TRAINING POSSIBILITIES
K-Sim Navigation’s flexibility enables an unrivalled variety of training possibilities including ship handling in ports, inland waterways, towing, tugging, dredging, emergencies and advanced integrated team training scenarios; where every aspect of a demanding operation is simulated in real-time.

INSTRUCTOR SYSTEM
Control the exercise and assess the student’s performance
Designed with the user experience firmly in focus, K-Sim Navigation’s instructor system provides the instructor with a powerful and efficient tool to design, control and assess the customized exercises.
The evaluation of students can be incorporated as part of the exercise with triggers, e-coach messages and performance scores. The entire simulated scenario is automatically recorded for review and debriefing. An advanced assessment system for ensuring optimal training and feedback standards is also included.
COMPLIANCE WITH OFFSHORE TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
STCW Requirements for Training
