Superior Energy Services in Houston, Texas, recently took delivery of a highly advanced training simulator.
The simulator from Kongsberg Maritime will be used to provide integrated, realtime training for Superior’s offshore marine personnel at its new facility in Anchorage, Alaska.

The simulator features two full offshore service vessel bridges, with 360 degree field of view, an offshore crane simulator, supplied by Kongsberg, GlobalSim, a DeepWorks ROV simulator, supplied to Kongsberg by Fugro Subsea Services Ltd and a separate Process Simulator, for operator training and control system checkout in addition to multiphase flow simulation, supplied by Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies.
