Radar Navigation Lab

Featuring a K-Sim integrated navigation bridge simulator (full-mission bridge) manufactured by the Norwegian company Kongsberg, this laboratory provides students with practical training in the operation of navigation equipment. It is used primarily by bachelor's (first-cycle) Maritime Transport students, who take part in sessions on navigation systems, and later, once they have gained the required operational experience, in RADAR/ARPA courses.

The simulator comprises four separate navigation bridges and an instructor’s room that also serves as a briefing and discussion area. One of the bridges offers a 180° visual system, while the three smaller bridges are equipped with additional digital components.

Students stand navigational watches in three-person teams. On each bridge, they have access to:

A control station
RADAR/ARPA with emulation of Kelvin Hughes, Furuno, Kongsberg and other radar systems
ECDIS (Kongsberg K-Bridge)
GMDSS console and intercom
Navigation display units and gyrocompass repeater
Observation and alarm panels
A navigation table with chart
