National Decommissioning Centre · Newburgh, Aberdeenshire

A marine simulation suite for research, decommissioning and offshore wind

9 metre dome with four operator stations and vessels on the curved screen

What OSC delivered

  • A 9 m walk-in dome with a 300° visual environment and real-time physics
  • Multi-operator control across four stations, with ROV, crane and vessel operations
  • CAD import of real asset data, so researchers simulate the assets they study
  • Capability to extend into offshore wind, subsea trials and renewables planning
