NEPTUNE Cargo & Ballast Handling Simulator The world’s most advanced simulator Behind the NEPTUNE cargo & ballast handling simulator lies an investment of more than 140 person-years of development. This major investment has resulted in the most advanced cargo and ballast handling simulator available in the market today. NEPTUNE builds competence from the ground up by providing the most realistic depiction of cargo & ballast handling operations. In order to learn the complex load and discharge operations, NEPTUNE simulators enable high quality training in every aspect, from single sub-systems to the overall running of a loading or discharge operation. Simulating the entire range of operations from normal conditions through extraordinary situations, students are given the opportunity to experience day-to-day operational requirements and learn the vital skills for dealing with abnormal situations and emergency conditions. From desktop to full mission systems KONGSBERG is dedicated to making NEPTUNE available to as many users as possible. The NEPTUNE cargo & ballast handling simulator is extremely fl exible and can be confi gured from a PC desktop to an operational full mission simulator using custom panels and ship equipment. In addition, KONGSBERG provides an e-learning (webenabled) module and the possibility to use fl oating licences, giving the training centre maximum value for money. With a full range of simulation systems available, KONGSBERG has a cost-eff ective solution to fi t every requirement and budget. The NEPTUNE cargo & ballast handling simulator off ers a wide range of highly realistic models of diff erent vessel types. Our desktop system is based on the same core software for all confi gurations, and is ideal for operation and process studies. The full mission systems off er a physical familiarity with the real shipboard environment, and include a cargo control room, cargo handling room and instructor room. Maximum fl exibility Diff erent simulator confi gurations are available. The cargo control room may be represented by any combination of interactive mimic panels, operational panels/consoles or desk-top stations. Our concept allows individually laid out control rooms to meet exact customer requirements. The system can be upgraded or expanded at any time during its life span, and is based on the same core software for all confi gurations. The illustration shows a typical simulator confi guration of networked d systems including Cargo Handling Room with Local Operating Station (LOS) consoles, Cargo Control Room with full console and panel confi guration, Instructor Station and Simulator mulator Laboratory with Debrief Facilities. 6 Creating realistic training situations We tailor your training facility to your specifi c needs and develop training programs to meet your goals. To enable this, the NEPTUNE architecture is extremely fl exible, and can be used across a range of diff erent interfaces off ering benefi ts in value, fl exibility and realism. In addition, we are able to integrate our NEPTUNE cargo & ballast handling simulator with KONGSBERG’s K-Chief, a real automation system. This gives a new level of realism, as crew can train on the identical equipment that they will later operate onboard ships.
“STAR Center is pleased to report that Kongsberg’s NEPTUNE cargo handling simulator has met our high expectations. The years of development work shows in the accuracy and realism of the simulation models. The graphic user interface on the instructor and student stations is very intuitive and easy to use. The instructor system provides signifi cant fl exibility in building and running challenging simulation exercises. Unique scenarios can be developed using pre-programmed embedded faults and student performance can easily be monitored and assessed. The ability to replay the exercises is also a very valuable tool and the e-Coach capabilities are useful for developing tutorials for introduction to certain topics.” Brian Long, Director, STAR Center, USA Skills transfer The learning objective is to understand and operate the entire cargo & ballast handling system in a safe, timely and cost-eff ective manner. Whether you choose a NEPTUNE full mission or desktop, your students or employees will learn a vast array of skills thanks to the pedagogical values and high fi delity realism the NEPTUNE simulator systems off er. Typical training applications include the following: • Routine and emergency procedures • Familiarisation with all parts of the cargo system • Planning of cargo loading and discharge • Use of loading computer • Line up for loading and ballasting • Line up for discharge • Stripping of tanks by means of vacuum and ejector systems • Topping up and fi nalising loading • Aeration, inerting and nitrogen supply • Compressor systems, heaters and boosters on LPG/E tankers • LNG tankers with compressor systems and boil off • Mulitple loading/discharge operations with fl exible connections on chemical tankers • Discharge pump operation with dynamic pump and system performance curves • Flow control in relation to stability and mechanical forces • Communication to terminal, deck and cargo control room Contol room at the full mission cargo handling simulator at Dalian Maritime University, China Students running an exercise at the cargo handling simulator at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden 7
