摘要：	Kongsberg Digital announced April 9 that it has signed a contract with the Panama Canal Authority to upgrade and extend the K-Sim Navigation simulators based in SIDMAR, the Center for Sim-ulation, Research and Maritime Devel-opment of the Panama Canal Authority.Equipped with the new technology, the Panama City-based center will be able to include multiple vessels in training sce-narios and extend the realism of the sim-ulator training provided for pilots and tug masters.Scheduled for delivery and installation in August, this substantial upgrade will in-volve a broad scope of delivery, the com-pany said. The centers main K-Sim Nav-igation simulator will be upgraded with new visual image generation and display/ projection systems and an array of new consoles and hardware panels. In addi-tion, a unique new floor projection system will be installed to replicate the port and starboard views from the bridge wings.This feature will allow trainee officers on the main bridge to monitor the tugs and pilot boats in, for example, demanding port and tug maneuvering scenarios with vessels in close proximity.Two entirely new K-Sim Navigation bridge simulators are included with the delivery. One will be configured specifi-cally to duplicate a full-mission tugboat bridge with the capability of simulating various types of tug propulsion systems including Voith, Schottel and Azimuth-ing Stern Drive. The 360-degree vertical displays on the new bridge simulators will enable student tug masters and pilots to train together with the crew members on the main bridge, while a new CCTV sys-tem and Kongsberg's award-winning in-structor stations will make the creation and individual assessment of exercises more accurate than ever.
