Training with this simulator

Bridge, DP and PSV courses, run by you.

OSC does not run courses. We deliver the hardware, software and scenarios that DP, PSV and anchor handling courses run on.

  • Bridge and crane combined for PSV team training
  • Instructor controls weather, vessel faults and DP failures
  • Whole-crew scenarios with radio between bridge, crane and winch stations
  • Debrief with recordings and replay
