K-Sim® DP Basic - Class C

The training of Dynamic Positioning Operators (DPO) is conducted in accordance with IMCA M117, The Training and Experience of Key DP Personnel. The training follows the Nautical Institute’s (NI) certification scheme, structured into a five-phase programme: introduction course, seagoing familiarisation, DP simulator course, supervised DP watchkeeping, and concluding with a final Statement of Suitability by the Master.

Alternatively, training can be conducted according to a DNV GL approved scheme, such as KONGSBERG SMSC. The three levels of training are completed with a practical assessment.
