HiPAP

High Precision Acoustic Positioning (HiPAP) provides a vessel with positioning capability during subsea construction projects, especially those taking place in deepwater areas. The HiPAP Operator course will be of particular interest to navigators and DP operators. Participants will gain a basic understanding of the Kongsberg HiPAP 350 and 500 systems and will be trained in performing basic SSBL system operation on a desktop system with generic APOS, Windows-operated software.

The Marine Training Centre’s facilities for Dynamic Positioning training are among the finest in the world. The Centre offers a Kongsberg Polaris (Full Mission), DNV Class “A” compliant ship’s bridge simulator with an integrated full-function, Kongsberg Simrad Dual Redundant Dynamic Positioning (DP) System. DP training facilities include a five-station Basic DP lab.

HiPAP and DP training packages can include first-class accommodations, meals and transportation to and from the airport.
