Kongsberg to supply advanced training simulators to Capital Group in Greece
Kongsberg Maritime has received a contract from Capital Group for the delivery of K-Sim Engine Room and Cargo Handling simulators for a new training facility located on the island of Chios, Greece.
This initiative aims to improve training standards for the crew, focusing on both Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) training and familiarisation with onboard automation systems.
The delivery of the simulators is set to be completed by the end of June 2025.
The simulators will incorporate K-Chief automation systems, which are currently in use on Capital Group's tankers and LNG gas carriers.
This setup is designed to offer crew members practical experience with the automation systems they will encounter while operating the fleet.
Capital Ship Management (Chios Branch) Captain Ioannis Tsirigos said: 'Simulation training is a critical component of our crew development strategy.
'The ability to train on familiar automation systems, such as K-Chief 600 and K-Chief 700, ensures that our personnel gain hands-on experience, improving safety, efficiency, and operational effectiveness.'
The decision to award the contract to Kongsberg Maritime stems from Capital Group's use of the K-Chief 600 and K-Chief 700 automation systems. These systems are utilised throughout the company's operations.
Kongsberg Maritime Maritime Simulation managing director Are Follesdal Tjonn said: 'Our mission is to support the maritime industry's transition toward smarter, safer, and more efficient operations.
'The fact that we can deliver both proven automation system technology in addition to immersive simulation of the systems, puts us in a unique situation in supporting shipowners maximising operational efficiency and safety.'
In February this year, Kongsberg Maritime obtained a contract to provide an integrated equipment package for Bibby Marine's new eCSOV.
The eCSOV, touted as the world's first fully electric offshore vessel, is expected to be delivered in 2027.
"Kongsberg to supply advanced training simulators to Capital Group in Greece" was originally created and published by Ship Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
