K-Sim Cargo Handling Simulator

Kongsberg Maritime released its latest K-Sim Cargo simulator model, SCC-II, based on a Suezmax crude oil carrier with 12 cargo tanks and two slop tanks. The new simulator model enables integrated, real-time exercises based on actual ship speci? cations and performance data on liquid cargo handling operations. The model is delivered with a sophisticated new Integrated Automation System (IAS) to replicate Cargo Control Room (CCR) operations. The CCR can be represented by different combinations of interactive mimic panels, operational panels or consoles or desk-top stations, allowing it to be laid out according to the speci? c requirements of any training facility. The new model con- tains a Closed Circuit TV system with three camera angles providing a view from both manifolds and a third camera with view from the jetty to give students a complete train- ing scenario. The SCC-II model is equipped with an inert gas plant to provide training on cleaning the ? ue gas and replacing combustible gases in the cargo tanks with low or non- ? ammable gases. The pump con? guration represents a typical crude oil carrier with three cargo pumps, two ballast pumps, three oil/gas separators, a stripping pump and ejector.
