| Autoship Systems Corporation is pleased to announce that the Offshore Simulator Centre (OSC) in Aalesund Norway have decided to incorporate Autoload® 3D on-board loading software into its real time simulator system.Anchor handling courses at OSC will now be able to handle and train operators in the stability aspects of the process alongside the practical aspects of anchor handling and other advanced offshore operations.The loading condition for a given anchor handling operation will be prepared in Autoload, and the vessels floating position and dynamic motion response will be according to correct mass / mass distributions and free surface effects. Loads introduced by the anchor handling operation will be fed back to Autoload, so that the vessel’s floating position, stability and motion response will be correctly updated. The data will be exchanged automatically during the simulation.At the same time, Autoship Systems Corporation is also pleased to announce that it has established Autoload Services, a collaboration arrangement between Autoship Systems Corporation, and the Autoship Dealers - Coastdesign Norway, David Henry Architecture Navale and AutoShip Systems UK.By combining the technical, organizational experience and capacity of these three Dealers, with the proven track record of Autoship Systems Corporation – Autoload Services will be able to deal with the high demands of the fleet-wide sales and implementation of Autoload software, and in addition will provide worldwide training and emergency response services, using the Autoship Dealer network and other associates.
Offshore Simulator Centre is an initiative taken on behalf of the offshore community by Farstad Shipping ASA, Rolls-Royce Marine AS, Norwegian Marine Technology Research Institute (Marintek) and Aalesund University College.By putting together the competence of a major international operator of modern offshore supply vessels, a global leader in marine propulsion, engineering and hydrodynamic expertise, the leading Norwegian research institute in marine technology and a major institution for higher maritime education in Norway, OSC has a solid basis for its work.
