of the entire simulation, and another per- son looking at the human factors, the team performance, focusing on the psy-chology part. "This concept with two in- structors and strong focus on teamperformance, has been a success for us,"Monsholm said. Half of the crew is ac- tively observing the operations of the other half of the crew, from the observer room. After a debriefing, they switch. OSC designs and supplies simulatorsfor external companies and institutions. These also include crane simulators andsmall onboard trainers for safer deck op-erations, called SDO trainers. Every time Rolls-Royce sells an anchor handling deck crane, OSC supplies a simulator on-board the vessel. DP simulation stations and visualization can be supplied with theequipment from several suppliers, such as Rolls-Royce, Kongsberg, L3 Commu- nications, and Marine Technologies. External Simulator Deliveries OSC has, sofar, delivered Anchor Han- dling Simulators to Bourbon in Mar- seilles and Singapore, the Farstad Shipping in Perth, to Rolls-Royce in Aalesund, and a number of Crane Simu-lators and smaller installations. "We have not reached the critical mass yet (regard- ing external sales), but are not that far from it," Monsholm described.In December last year OSC completedthe world's largest Offshore Simulator Centre, as part of Farstad Shipping's new offshore training in Perth, Australia. The center is one of the biggest and most ad-vanced offshore training centers in the world, with two offshore operation simu- lators for anchor handling and platformsupply vessel operations, a crane simula- tor, a winch simulator, six deck person- nel stations, an engine room simulatorand a complete dynamic positioning (DP)training facility. The Offshore Operation Simulator con- sist of two full mission offshore bridges with 360 degree field of vision, located inside a large dome construction deliv- ered by Spitz Inc., USA. The visual sys- tem in the dome consists of 38professional grade projectors from Pro-jection Design, Norway. Together with OSC's top-notch 3D graphics and next- to-real simulation functionality, the solu- tion gives unprecedented realism for personnel being trained in the simulators. The Center also includes an EngineRoom simulator, supplied together with Polish company Unitest. It consists a full 3D walk-through engine room including a control room with controls, and switch-boards using touch screen technology. Another recent delivery is the Offshore Simulators for the new Rolls-Royce Ma- rine Technology and Training Centre in Aalesund, Norway. The delivery includes a full 360-degree Offshore Vessel Bridge and 4 stand alone Winch Simulators based on the OSC Small Dome visuali-zation solution. The vessel bridge solution includes a bridge house construction with a curved fiberglass projection screen wrapped around it, 22 professional grade projec-tors, an instructor station and more than30 PCs/servers. The solution has been ap- proved by Nautical Institute as a Class B DP Bridge. Rolls-Royce Marine will be using the new simulators for Rolls-Royce Marine product training. The latest development of OSC in- cludes joint simulation scenarios, calledintegrated operations, with several simu- lators which can be located anywhere. This could be, for example, combining two anchor handlers, the rig bridge and rig crane simulator into one big scenario. According to Mr Monsholm, there areworldwide two, perhaps three competi- tors in anchor handling simulation. In thecrane simulation area there are many, at least five. OSC is the only simulator com- bining bridge simulation with real simu-lated deck operations.Thank You to All of Our Customers Who Continue to Fuel Our Growth.
