Kongsberg Maritime's edge Polaris Bridge Simulator has received new DNV approval for the product category Bridge Operation Simulator, which includes notifications for training on integrated bridge systems including integrated navigation systems.
The approval is according to the revised standards laid out in DNV's Standard for Certification of Maritime Simulators, which is based on the requirements of the STCW Convention, Regulation I/12, and includes the new 2010 amended convention that came into force from January 1.
The Polaris Bridge Simulator enables flexible training in ship-handling, manoeuvring and navigation, based on cutting-edge visuals and realistic hydrodynamic modelling. Polaris may be delivered as a full-mission, 360-degree, motion platform based integrated simulator, a part task simulator (ECDIS, radar, etc), a PC-based desktop simulator or as any combination of these.
The new certification ensures that the Polaris Bridge Simulator meets or exceeds the highest standards set out by DNV in regards to simulator training and follows a round of certification for the Kongsberg Neptune Engine Room Simulator, which was approved to the latest DNV standards in December 2011.
