THREE types of VSTEP dynamic positioning (DP) simulators have been certified and accredited by the Nautical Institute and Det Norske Veritas (DNV-GL) certification bodies.
The accreditation means the new NAUTIS DP simulators have been approved to be used for official DP training courses, the simulators' developer said in a statement.
The Class A full mission bridge simulator was certified by DNV-GL at VSTEP's new head office in Rotterdam, based on the Praxis Mega-Guard DP2 system.
"We often notice with DP Class A full mission simulators that the DP2 system is added to an existing forward bridge." said DNV-GL's principal auditor Paul Kuin.
"VSTEP however also designed an aft bridge DP Class A simulator, which is more suitable for many offshore DP operations like platform supply and diving support."
The Class B simulator was certified by the Nautical Institute at the Dynamic Positioning Centre of Shanghai Maritime University based on the Praxis Mega-Guard DP2 system.
The other Class B simulator was certified by the NI at the L-3 DP&CS training centre in Singapore, and was based on the L-3 Dynamic Positioning and Control System.
