PaleBlue completed delivery and deployment of a ROV Training Simulator to OSM Thome. The simulator is based on the PaleBlue ROV simulation platform and, more specifically, on the PaleBlue ROV Trainer product. The simulator has been installed at OSM Thome’s training premises in the Philippines.

PaleBlue ROV Trainer is a novel kind of ROV simulator: it’s fully digital and does not have dependencies on specific hardware or hardware components, allowing the use of off-the-shelf PC equipment. This enables establishing simulator training stations across various locations at controlled cost.

The simulator supports off-the-shelf as well as custom input controls, allowing for use in a wide range of training environments and situations.

The simulator features a number of training scenarios allowing the trainees to go through various different subsea tasks. The simulator also supports environmental conditions including current, heave and visibility. In the duration of the project, the simulator has been configured to the requirements of OSM Thome specialists working with ROV operations.

With the PaleBlue simulator, OSM Thome is able to perform training and competence development of its crews from their training facility in the Philippines.

PaleBlue ROV simulation platform includes two main products: Subsea Access Simulator, made for subsea engineers to perform access verification on their CAD model, and ROV Trainer, made for training of ROV pilots.

We’re glad that OSM Thome, a global leader in ship management, chose to work with PaleBlue, and that PaleBlue simulator can improve training levels, as well as incident preparedness in ongoing and future subsea operations. This project serves as an illustration of the expanding abilities of our ROV simulation platform. Felix Gorbatsevich, PaleBlue CEO
