Vortex, PNI Training and Antycip Simulation Partner for Offshore Crane Operator Training Solution
Vortex has partnered with PNI Training in Norway and Antycip Simulation to deliver a unique team-based training environment that promotes a safety-first approach to performing offshore heavy-lift operations. From initial toolbox-talk to simultaneous multi-player operations and after-action review, Vortex Crane Simulators offer a complete classroom-based solution for team training.
"After an extensive search for the right combination of simulation-based crane training expertise, team-based immersive learning and a proven track record for delivering on-time, we chose Vortex for our training solution," said Geir Gislason, Chairman, PNI Training Centre. "An essential aspect of our crane operations training is teamwork - training operators, slingers and banksmen simultaneously to prepare them for typical tasks and challenges in offshore operations. Vortex was the only provider we found that has this expertise, and together we have created an industry first for heavy-lift training operations. Our students will really benefit - the results will be more experienced and skilled crews, and safer operations."
Working in close partnership with PNI, the Vortex team combined its simulator expertise with PNI's training experience and Antycip Simulation's European-based technical support, creating an integrated and immersive training solution. The project features the creation of many in-depth training exercises for rig and supply ship lifts, internal lifts, subsea lifts on intervention ships and even tandem lifts with two simulated cranes. Training exercises involve the crane operator, banksman and slinger in a multi-player interactive virtual world.
