A DP OS-3 station is included for monitoring student’s interaction with DP equipment.

DP Simulator Bridge is equipped with a K-Sim® Offshore, designed for the advanced and integrated ships bridge simulation training. It is based on a cutting-edge technology platform enabling realistic training scenarios and enhanced user benefits for both instructors and students. An advanced new physical engine and state-of-the-art hydrodynamic modelling allow vessels, objects and equipment to behave and interact as in real life. Vessels and objects including various geographical training areas and all possible weather conditions are brought to life with a sophisticated new visual system.
