G5 Offshore Crane Module P-4.1 – Simulator Training – Oslo
Kompetansebedriften offers G5 Offshore Crane Module P-4.1 with 40 hours of simulator training at our training facilities in Oslo. The module forms part of the complete G5 Offshore Crane training programme and follows Norwegian requirements for certified safety training.
The simulator training provides participants with practical experience in offshore lifting operations and helps develop safe working practices, situational awareness and operational understanding.
We educate safe and responsible offshore crane operators with a strong focus on safety, communication and efficient execution of lifting operations.
Course delivery
Module P-4.1 consists of 40 hours of practical simulator training conducted over five days. Training takes place in our facilities in Oslo and is delivered by experienced instructors with extensive offshore and crane experience.
The simulator training allows participants to practice realistic operations and situations that may occur during offshore lifting operations.
Prerequisites
Participants must have completed:
Course objectives
The purpose of simulator training is to provide operators with practical experience and skills required to perform safe and efficient offshore lifting operations.
The training includes different loads, vessel movements, communication and external influences that may occur during offshore operations.
A modern simulator facility based on Kongsberg K-Sim
The training is conducted using a Kongsberg K-Sim offshore crane simulator. The system has been developed to provide realistic training and enables participants to practice a wide range of offshore lifting operations in a safe and controlled environment.
The simulator recreates conditions encountered by offshore crane operators and allows participants to train both normal operations and challenging situations that would be difficult or costly to perform in real life.
5 metre dome and motion platform
The simulator facility includes a 5 metre dome with an advanced 10-channel visual system providing a wide and realistic field of view. The crane cabin is mounted on a motion platform ("The Tank"), creating realistic vessel movements and offshore crane operating conditions.
The combination of the dome, visual system and motion platform provides a highly immersive training experience and contributes to increased situational awareness and better decision-making.
Realistic scenarios and practical training
Participants train in a wide range of scenarios and tasks, including:
- Loading and unloading supply vessels.
- Lifting operations to and from fixed and floating installations.
- Communication between crane operators and banksmen.
- Operations in varying weather conditions.
- Night operations.
- Vessel motions and environmental influences.
- Abnormal situations and emergency scenarios.
- Planning and execution of safe lifting operations.
- Operational limitations.
Participants train in
- Communication during lifting operations.
- Planning and execution of lifts.
- Internal transportation on installations.
- Loading and unloading supply vessels.
- Operations involving fixed and floating installations.
- Normal and abnormal operations.
- Emergency situations.
- Cooperation between crane operator and banksman.
- Safe operation of offshore cranes.
Team training, communication and debriefing
The simulator facility provides opportunities for team training involving crane operators, banksmen, deck personnel and other personnel involved in lifting operations. Team training contributes to improved communication, situational awareness and safer operations.
The training emphasizes non-technical skills such as teamwork, communication, decision-making and situational awareness, often referred to as Crew Resource Management (CRM) in operational training.
The simulator facility includes a dedicated debriefing room where exercises can be recorded and reviewed afterwards. Systematic evaluation and feedback provide valuable experience and improve participants' ability to handle situations safely and efficiently.
Target group
- Personnel aiming to become offshore crane operators.
- Personnel within the oil and gas industry.
- Maritime personnel.
- Personnel involved in offshore lifting operations.
Further training towards G5 Offshore Crane certification
After completing simulator training, participants continue with:
- Supervised offshore crane operation with an approved mentor in accordance with current training requirements.
- A mentor agreement between the candidate, company and training provider.
- Final practical assessment conducted by an independent examiner.
