The Demand for Maritime Personnel

The labour situation within the maritime sector is a topic that attracts much attention worldwide. Many fear we are entering a period where

a massive shortage of qualied personnel can, among other factors, represent a possible threat to both quality and safety standards. At the

same time, customers, authorities and other stakeholders constantly increase their demand for higher quality, precision, safety and corporate

social responsibility. Based on this complex situation, the maritime industry worldwide is expected to have a strong focus on recruiting new,

qualied personnel in years to come.

High Quality Training: a Necessity

For ship owners and operators, competence is the key to safety, reliability and economy. Safety reduces the risk of injuries to personnel and

minimizes the risk of damage to the environment. Reliability minimizes the ever increasing cost of being off-hire. A well run engine room

managed by competent people improves economy. Onboard training using real equipment presents a number of challenges. Increased risk to

personnel and equipment combined with limited access to required marine assets and related escalating costs are creating increased demand for

simulation technology. Simulation under highly realistic circumstances presents a safer and more cost-efcient training alternative. Simulation

has already proven its effectiveness and is, without doubt, the future of maritime training. Due to the almost unlimited possibilities provided

by simulation, better results can be achieved in a safer, more efcient manner, which in turn produces higher quality personnel.

Different tasks different needsInvestment in maritime simulators is no longer limited to just the

largest academies and organizations. Todays simulator customers

represent a broad mix of different organizations, from public trainingacademies and universities, training centres and vocational schools,

to shipping and oil & gas companies, as well as military training

organizations including Navies, Coast Guards and Maritime Police.

Accordingly, engine room simulators must be exible to meet the

users various needs. Simulators today can be delivered tailor-made,

ensuring that both functionality and cost meet the exact require-

ments of the user.

The importance of realismThe importance of process understanding is crucial for optimum

engine control and for handling crisis and abnormal situations. Proper

simulator training will reduce accidents and improve efciency, and

give the engineers experience and condence in their job situation.

To avoid negative learning, it is a necessity that the simulation training

is highly realistic and adaptable to real life situations. The latest

maritime simulation technology provides impressive integration

between engine room simulator and real vessel control systems, which

gives a new level of realism, as engineers can train on exactly the

same equipment that they will nd onboard a real vessel.

Educating the best personnelCompared to conventional training, simulators offer a more structuredmethod of building high levels of competence. During simulation

training, one can isolate and freeze each sub-system to understand

and acquire knowledge, perform critical operations over and over

again to train skills, and test and develop attitudes by training in

situations that demand complex decision making. Through use of

advanced assessment systems, simulator training can help isolate

areas requiring improvement, and allows the instructor to tailor training

exercises. In this way, the training will focus on bringing out the best

in each student.

KONGSBERGs solutionAs a major world-wide supplier of ship automation and control systems, KONGSBERG has a thorough understanding of the industrys

training needs and detailed knowledge of the systems used onboard. We have designed our simulators around this knowledge to

provide the most realistic and effective training possible.

To meet the present and future training needs in the maritime industry, we have developed the NEPTUNE engine room simulator, which

is the result of detailed studies that have dened the optimum solution. NEPTUNE provides excellent real-time simulation which gives

a unique and real education and training of personnel. By use of physical models, we are able to offer real-time simulation models

providing a knock-on effect on adjacent subsystems. In addition to an extremely high level of realism, the NEPTUNE engine room

simulator offers user-friendliness and exibility, key features for providing high levels of instructor control and greater variety of courseofferings capabilities demanded by training institutes and organizations worldwide.

The worlds most advanced simulatorBehind the NEPTUNE engine room simulator lies an investment of

more than 140 person-years of development. This major investment

has resulted in the most advanced engine room simulator available inthe market today. NEPTUNE builds competence from the ground up

by providing the most realistic depiction of engine and engine room

operations. In order to learn the complex behavior of an engine room,

NEPTUNE simulators enable high quality training in every aspect,

from single sub-systems to the overall running of the engine room.

Covering both ordinary operation and extraordinary operation, students

are given the opportunity to learn day-to-day operation and the vital

skills for dealing with abnormal situations and emergencies.

From desktop to full mission systemsKONGSBERG is dedicated to making NEPTUNE available to as many

users as possible. The NEPTUNE engine room simulator is extremely

exible and can be congured from a PC desktop to an operational

full mission simulator using custom panels and ship equipment.

In addition, KONGSBERG provides an e-learning (web-enabled)

module and the possibility to use oating licences, giving the training

centre maximum value for money. With a full range of simulation

systems available, KONGSBERG has a cost-effective solution to t

every requirement and budget.

The NEPTUNE engine room simulator offers a wide range of engine

types, all highly realistic. Our desktop system is based on the samecore software for all congurations, and is ideal for engineering and

process studies. The full mission systems offer a physical familiarity

and include an engine room, an engine control room and an instructor

room.

Complete training environmentEvery simulation delivery is different. We therefore tailor your facility

to your specic needs and develop training programs to meet your

goals. To enable this, the NEPTUNE architecture is extremely exible, and

can be used across a range of different interfaces offering benets

in value, exibility and realism. For example the NEPTUNE engine

room simulator can be connected with a KONGSBERG ships bridge

simulator to run a complete learning scenario. In addition, we are able

to integrate our NEPTUNE engine room simulator with KONGSBERG

real K-Chief 500 and AutoChief C20 vessel control systems, which

gives a new level of realism, as engineers can train on the identical

equipment that they later will operate onboard ships.

High delity modelsAll our engine room simulators are dynamic real-time process simula-

tors of high delity, built after specications based on real engine

physics. This means that all sequences will automatically be in proper

order and duration, regardless of the operational condition, which is

important for real process understanding.

Extensive model libraryThe product line is under continuous development with a model library

currently consisting of nineteen different propulsion plants and engine

types based on exact simulations certied by the engine manufacturers.

Our library includes models of high, medium and slow speed diesel

engines such as MAN Diesel, Sulzer, Pielstick, MaK and MTU, as well as

gas turbine, diesel electric, water jet and steam propulsion.

Customized solutionsThe NEPTUNE engine room simulator can be tailored to t any

specic requirements. This means that all equipment normally

associated with an engine room is available. The operation of the

engine rooms subsystems can be carried out on interactive mimic

panels and consoles or monitor-based local operating stations in any

combination. An example is the BigView conguration, which is an

advanced interactive mimic system displaying NEPTUNE simulator

model process diagrams on large HD monitors. BigView provides full

size simulation but with complete, touch of a button exibility.

3D virtual simulationWe also offer a 3D virtual engine room system where students can

navigate through the engine room and operate the equipment from

within a virtual environment. The RealView 3D presentation allows

students to get a logical approach to for example opening and

closing valves, faultnding and handling of normal and anomalous

situations without danger to life or equipment. By using the latest

available technology, KONGSBERG can offer systems optimizing your

simulation investment

NEPTUNE Engine Room Simulator

Although realism and pedagogical values are at the forefront of NEPTUNE, we are dedicated to exploring and improving every single

aspect of engine room simulation to ensure our customers and students get the most out of our solutions. Here are some of the

features that make NEPTUNE the leading engine room simulator system:

Maximum exibilityA core priority in the development of NEPTUNE has been to optimize

the users investment. The result is the most exible engine room

on the market. A NEPTUNE simulator can be expanded at any time,with additional models, panels, workstations or complete integrated

engine rooms.

In addition, our customers also benet from the exible conguration

solutions. The interchangeable switchboards in the control room allow

conversion between different propulsion plants, which is increasing

the customer training possibilities. Our MultiTouch system, which uses

multiple touch screens integrated with real-life engine room consoles

and panels, allows instructors to change from a VLCC to a Cruise Vessel

or to a Ferry in seconds. The exibility in the interchangeable panels

and in MultiTouch system provide added value, enabling customers

to offer a far wider range of courses with lower initial investment in

hardware and faster change-over times.

Realistic engine room perceptionOur full mission NEPTUNE engine room simulator provides the most

realistic engine room simulation experience available today. In addition

to the true physical environment, the full mission simulator offers

engine room sounds including: variation in main engine speed,

malfunctions in turbo charger air lters, start/stop of pumps, oil red

boilers and compressors, drain and safety valves. By adding realistic

engine room sounds, noises and alarms, total realism is achieved; the

student and even experienced Chief Engineers gain from lessonslearned in these simulated situations.

NEPTUNE Instructor SystemThe monitoring, assessment and conguration tool for our NEPTUNE

simulators has been designed to enhance the quality of simulation

training by providing complete, intuitive and user-friendly control ofstudent exercises. It enables the instructor to develop customized

exercise modules for individuals, teams or a combination of both from

any PC running the application, with fully controllable areas such as:

Initial Condition describes all the variables at the start of the

exercise.

Triggers a combination of events that initiate an Action, e-Coach

message or Assessment.

Actions derived from Input Variables and Malfunctions, which

can be initiated instantaneously, or preprogrammed as part of the

exercise.

e-Coach Messages an electronic mentoring and performance

feedback system.

Student Station Conguration dene what information is

accessible and visible to students.

Assessment monitor and assess alarms, and any of 6,000

variables in the simulation models.

Recording of all activity during the simulation exercise takes place

automatically and review/debrieng can include the replay of parts of

or the entire exercise in order to focus on specic learning objectives.

A unique resume functionality also enables an exercise to bestopped and started at will. If a student begins to have problems or

fails in a particular operation, the instructor can pause the simulation to

give guidance or advice, and then resume the exercise. The instructor can

also go back to any earlier point in time, and restart from there.

With the NEPTUNE instructor system, monitoring, assessment and

debrieng has never been easier!

NEPTUNE Instructor System

The NEPTUNE Instructor system delivered by KONGSBERG is very powerful and contains all the require-

ments needed to reach most learning objectives. The student station conguration tool is very exible as

set-up can be adjusted depending on student skills and purpose of the exercise. Furthermore, the intuitive

drag and drop functionality makes it easy to distribute exercises, and the same functionality allows the

instructor to easily connect to any of the student stations.

Kalmar Maritime Academy, SwedenKalmar Maritime Academy has since 1977 used maritime simulators from KONGSBERG. Since then, our simulator park has grown

continuously with the system developments from the company. We have a very close and professional relationship with the supplier

and when KONGSBERG developed the solution of interfacing NEPTUNE engine room simulator to the K-Chief automation system,

Kalmar Maritime Academy was the rst site to install this system giving the possibility to train students on actual integrated automation

systems, taking simulator training a huge step forward. Being in a position to offer training on real on-board, hands on systems

with the latest available simulator technology will put the students in an environment identical to what they will meet as ofcers,

once graduated. This simulator gives us unique possibility to offer more realistic training to both existing students and shipping

companies.

Jan Snberg, Head, Kalmar Maritime Academy, Sweden

Georgian College, CanadaA visionary product from KONGSBERG, BigView has not only replaced the mimic panel, but represents a quantum leap forward in

cost-effective visualization functionality for full mission training. With the new NEPTUNE Instructor based full mission and desktop

systems installed and operational, we have come to appreciate a number of the ner features that have made development of course

material and instruction more streamlined then ever possible.

As an instructor, I have the exibility of developing exercises at any PC, whether in the ofce or at home. I recently developed on

the order of 30 exercises in a record period of four hours. Previous to NEPTUNE, this was an impossible feat. Further, by having the

simulation software installed on my notebook computer, I have the exibility of taking the simulator into a traditional classroom setting,

freeing up precious full mission simulation time for other instructors.

As part of the simulator upgrade, it became evident to us that the Long Term System Support Program (LTSSP) represented piece

of mind. We view our LTSSP as a longterm investment in both our system as well as the long-standing relationship we have enjoyed

with Kongsberg. I would challenge anyone in the world to do a better job in engine room simulation than what is currently offered at

our facility.

Bryan D. Gelyk, Senior Engineering Instructor, Georgian College, Canada

Simulation, Training, Assessment and Research (STAR) Center, USA

We are pleased to report that the NEPTUNE engine room simulator desktop systems have met our high expectations and are currentlya part of US Coast Guard approved training programs conducted at STAR Center.

The NEPTUNE operating system is very impressive and gives the instructor signicant exibility in building and running challenging

simulation exercises. Unique scenarios can be developed using pre-programmed embedded faults, and student performance can

easily be monitored and assessed. The ability to replay the exercises is also a very valuable tool for the instructor. The graphic user

interface on the instructor and student stations is very intuitive and easy to use. We also nd the e-Coach capabilities very useful

and have taken advantage of this feature to develop tutorials for introduction of certain topics.

The most important factor in selecting Kongsberg was the extensive modeling that backs up each of their simulation programs.

The years of development work shows in the accuracy and realism of the simulation models.
