Kongsberg Digital is partnering with Fondazione Accademia Italiana della Marina Mercantile (FAIMM), a specialist maritime training academy based in Genova, Italy. Kongsberg Digital will deliver a range of K-Sim simulator systems, providing FAIMM with the necessary tools and support to optimize its training programs.

The simulator system includes a range of components, featuring a DNV Class A K-Sim Navigation/Offshore Jack up simulator system, which integrates with Kongsberg Maritime’s Dynamic Positioning System, K-POS. Additionally, FAIMM will benefit from a DNV Class B Offshore Crane simulator for crane operator training.

In addition, Kongsberg Digital will deliver its K-Sim Engine and K-Sim Cargo Full Mission and Desktop Simulator System, which brings a range of engine and cargo simulator models. These systems will share the same hardware for both full mission and classroom configurations.

"We are proud to partner with FAIMM in Genova to deliver our advanced simulator systems, which are poised to elevate maritime training and research capabilities," said Are Føllesdal Tjønn, Managing Director in Maritime Simulation at Kongsberg Digital. "By providing FAIMM with the tools they need to create customized training environments and offering comprehensive support services, we are empowering them to provide world-class training programs that meet the evolving needs of the maritime industry."

As part of the agreement, Kongsberg Digital will also provide FAIMM with its proprietary K-Sim Tools for model development and database creation, along with the HDMT tool. These cutting-edge systems will be installed on separate operating stations, empowering FAIMM to create their own high-definition models and 3D exercise areas, thereby customizing their training environment to meet specific requirements.

To ensure that FAIMM's new simulator system remains relevant as a training and research tool in the years to come, Kongsberg Digital has included a 5-year warranty and support program. This program encompasses software updates, regular site visits by the Kongsberg Digital support team, 24/7 telephone and online support, and remote diagnostics.
