By GlobalDataThe foundation’s package of new simulators also includes the Kongsberg Maritime cargo handling simulator (CHS) based on the Neptune platform.
Kongsberg Maritime area sales manager Tor Hellman Kristoffersen said: "Headway Seacrest was already aware that our simulator offering could support its training program for cadets and officers and its plans to establish an offshore academy."
As part of the deal, Kongsberg Maritime will provide training for Headway Seacrest instructors at the Institute of Willem Barentz in the Netherlands.
The foundation has also selected Kongsberg Maritime Long Term Simulator Support Program (LTSSP), which provides structured support and access to simulator upgrades within a fixed period.
