Kongsberg Maritime has secured a contract to supply Aboa Mare Maritime Academy and Training Centre in Turku, Finland, with a state-of-the-art K-Sim Engine simulator system. Delivery is scheduled for Q1 2026.
The package includes a Full Mission and Desktop Simulator with advanced models covering conventional engines and next-generation propulsion technologies such as hybrid, dual-fuel, battery, and methanol. The system is fully compliant with STCW requirements and DNV standard ST-0033 and will be delivered with DNV Class A & C certification.
Are Føllesdal Tjønn, Managing Director of Maritime Simulation at Kongsberg Maritime, said the project supports the industry’s green transition. “Training is key to ensuring a safe and effective shift to greener operations,” he noted. “This platform will prepare mariners to operate vessels powered by hybrid, dual-fuel, and methanol systems.”
Thomas Lundberg, Simulator Manager at Aboa Mare, said the investment strengthens the school’s competitive edge. “By integrating the latest propulsion technologies, we ensure students and seafarers are ready to contribute to the industry’s sustainable future,” he said.
Kongsberg Maritime has a long-standing presence in Finland and will use the installation as a regional reference site. The partnership underscores both organizations’ commitment to innovation, sustainability, and high-quality maritime training.
