Kongsberg Maritime’s North America simulation arm has recently been awarded a contract by BC Ferries for the supply and installation of three Polaris ship bridge simulation systems for various sites in British Columbia, Canada.
Kongsberg Maritime will deliver updated Canadian West Coast area databases featuring 47 detailed terminals owned and operated by BC Ferries. The software will include 12 new 'own-ship' hydrodynamic models of the BC Ferries fleet.
The BC Ferries contract followed several other important Canadian simulation orders from high profile customers including the Canadian Coast Guard College (CCGC), the Centre for Marine Simulation (CMS), Marine Campus of the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) and Lockheed Martin Canada.
