K-Sim® Engine

As a major world-wide supplier of ship automation and control systems, KONGSBERG has a detailed knowledge of the systems used onboard and a thorough understanding of the industry’s training needs.

K-Sim Engine room simulator training

Our K-Sim Engine is a sophisticated engine room simulator system for training students and crew in basic, advanced and emergency scenarios in a safe environment. K-Sim Engine product family includes a range of engine models, all of which are certified by DNV and exceeds the existing STCW requirements.

Choose between cload-based, desktop and full mission simulator solutions

The K-Sim Engine 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 equipment like for instance a real automation system, K-Chief. 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

    All K-Sim Engine 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 engine room  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 includes an instructor station, an engine control room and an engine room with all the equipment needed. Some models can be delivered with a 3D BigView and a 3D walk-through system optimizing the learning experience. By adding realistic engine room sounds, noises and alarms, total realism is achieved.

Benefit from an extensive model library

K-Sim Engine’s product line includes the simulator models of high, medium and slow speed engines such as MAN Diesel, Wärtsilä, Pielstick, MaK and MTU, as well as gas turbine, diesel electric, water jet and steam propulsion.
