The simulator features detailed of vi-sual
models such as; equipment for the
fire teams, doors, fire doors, lights, fire,
smoke and people. Corridors, stairs,
cabins, offices, lockers, storages, emer-gency
exits and muster stations includ-ing
firefighting and lifesaving devices
are all available in the 3D environment.
THE ULTIMATE TEAM TRAINING
During an exercise, each fire team may
consist of a team leader, an assistant
and two smoke divers who can train on
procedures and virtually walk around
selected areas of the ship.
K-Sim Safety facilitates training on emer-gency
communication, the use of ex-tinguisher
equipment and searching for
missing persons. Training of communica-tion
between the teams is also extremely
important since communication errors
are a main cause of fatal accidents.
A X-Box controller is used for navigat-ing
around the ship. When a situation
requires the smoke divers to split from
their managers, they can continue into
the virtual smoke diver’s area with their
own monitor and X-Box controller.

INSTRUCTOR CONTROL
& ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
K-Sim Safety includes the same state-of-
the-art instructor, monitoring and
assessment system as KONGSBERG’s
K-Sim Engine and -Cargo simulators. It
is developed in close cooperation with
experienced instructors worldwide, the
Norwegian Maritime Directorate and
DNV GL, with user-friendliness and ef-ficiency
firmly in focus.
The Instructor system enables a com-plete
overview of the situation. It can
easily configure different types of emer-gency
scenarios such as fire, smoke,
blackout, flooding and missing persons.
Scenarios and fault-settings can either
be pre-programmed or manually set by
the instructor during the exercise to
dynamically challenge the teams.
Monitoring of exercises as well as re-cording
and replay of scenarios allows
instructors to have full control of crew
performance and to deliver in-depth
debriefings after exercises.
The assessment system enables auto-matic
evaluation of performance in the
exercise. The Instructor has the abil-ity
to print out assessment reports for
each individual student reflecting his/
her performance on different variables,
including pass or fail.
INTEGRATED TRAINING
The K-Sim Safety system can be inte-grated
with the K-Sim Engine simulator
L11ME-SCC, the K-Sim Cargo simulator
SCC-II and the corresponding K-Sim
Navigation ship model, enabling the ul-timate
integrated crew training.
