Kongsberg Sets out to Prove "Less is More"
Kongsberg Maritime will lead a new research project called âSituation Awareness and Decision Support Tools for demanding marine operationsâ (SITAWARE), which kicks-off on February 2, 2012. Part-funded by the Norwegian Research Council and undertaken in collaboration with academic research partners Chalmers University in Sweden, Vestfold University College and Haugesund University College in Norway, the new project has been implemented as the foundation for a new generation of support systems and solutions for marine operations. Advanced and demanding marine operations have become more challenging (deeper waters, heavier loads, harsher environments) and control systems and organisations have consequently become more complicated.
Haugesund Contract for Offshore Simulators
Kongsberg Maritime's simulation division has signed a new contract to deliver a range of offshore simulators to the newly founded Haugesund Simulatorcenter in Norway. The contract, which was signed on 16 June 2010 is for the 2011 delivery of a 360 degree visual offshore vessel simulator with interface to a range of specialized task simulators for team training of complex offshore operations. The offshore vessel simulator, which includes a main bridge with forward DNV class A and aft bridge configuration, is fully equipped with anchor handling and Dynamic Positioning (DP) functionalities.
