Huisman Singapore has launched a new 400t offshore mast crane simulator

The new simulator combines all main options available in the Huisman crane range, such as a main and auxiliary hoist, tuggers and a heave compensation system. The operations are simulated by the use of nine screens and an authentic operator chair with crane controls in order to create a realistic operating experience. As standard, it is equipped as 400t offshore mast crane but this can be adjusted to other Huisman crane types.

In order to use this crane simulator for education and training purposes, tailored exercises can be created for the basic and advanced training of crane operators.

In addition, the crane simulator can be used by specialist engineers, crane inspectors, and marine surveyors of insurance companies to conduct engineered lifts in simulated environments. The simulator will simplify the fine-tuning of planned operations including risk assessments, required control measures and back up scenarios in a risk free environment.

The new simulator at Huisman Far East Services in Singapore, a branch of Huisman's service organisation Global Services (HGS), is the third Huisman simulator available for clients operating Huisman equipment. The other two simulators, a 400t offshore mast crane and a dual multipurpose drill tower, are available at the Huisman Academy in the Netherlands. A fourth simulator, which will be a copy of the one at Huisman Far East, is currently under construction at Huisman North America Services in Rosenberg.
