MOL and MOL Marine & Engineering Co., Ltd. announced that Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) has granted basic approval to two new training courses related to offshore wind power generation, using Dynamic Positioning (DP) simulator, which is owned by MOL and MOLMEC, for power cable laying and anchor handling training. They are currently being prepared for launch and will be the first such courses offered in Japan.
MOL and MOLMEC installed the DP simulator on the lobby floor of MOL's Head Office in June 2022, and have already offered five other training courses using the simulator. Two more courses enabling candidates to acquire practical ship-handling skills for self-elevating platform (SEP) vessels and service operation vessels (SOVs) are also being prepared.
