Marine Log - December 2008 - (Page 43) Kongsberg Maritime launches new engine room simulator Kongsberg Maritime has developed a new multitouch screen engine room simulator called Neptun MultiTouch. It uses multiple touchscreens integrated with real-life engine room consoles and panels—enabling a student to quickly and easily select between simulation models. Additionally, training can occur on a number of well known engine and machinery systems, such as ME Remote Console, Power Management Console and engine room stations with Neptune ERS MAN B&W 5L90 MC VLCC, ERS Pielstick 10PC4 Ferry M22 and ERS Diesel Electric AC cruise vessel DE22. According to Harald Kluken, Product Advisor, Engine Room Simulators, Kongsberg Maritime, the system “loads a new set of MultiTouch Mimic Diagrams as a different engine room simulation model is loaded, allowing for different courses to be offered on the same hardware solution. This provides immediate cost saving, while at the same time enables training institutes to offer a wider set of courses, therefore attracting a greater number of students and customers.” The new MultiTouch system is based around Kongsberg Maritime's well proven and tested Neptune architecture for engine room simulation. www.km.kongsberg.com www.marinelog.com DECEMBER 2008 MARINE LOG 43 http://www.km.kongsberg.com http://www.marinelog.com
