K-Sim® Cargo and Ballast

Kongsberg’s K-Sim Cargo and K-Sim Ballast provide high-quality training for complex load and discharge operations, from individual subsystems to full-scale operations. Designed for the maritime and offshore industry, these DNV-certified simulators exceed IMO/STCW standards.

Building competence saves costs and protects the environment

Simulator training offers a structured, hands-on approach to building competence. It allows crews to practice critical operations, refine decision-making, and gain experience in a risk-free setting.

By integrating real-time physical models, K-Sim Cargo and K-Sim Ballast create realistic training scenarios where faults trigger cascading system effects. This enhances safety, efficiency, and performance—meeting the demands of shipowners and training institutes worldwide.

Choose between desktop and full mission simulators

The K-Sim Cargo models are 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 ship equipment for the ultimate familiarization.

Cloud based -Class D

All K-Sim Cargo models 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 cargo handling 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.
Full mission - class A

The full mission system is compliant with DNV’s Class A certification and offers a physical familiarity with the real shipboard environment. This solution includes an instructor station, a cargo control room and a deck area. A CCTV system can be included, and some models can be delivered with a 3D BigView system and KONGSBERG’s K-Load Dry Cargo Load Calculator.
