Anchor Handling Simulator

Anchor Handling Simulator

Advanced training for complex anchor deployment and retrieval operations. The ARI Anchor Handling Simulator extends offshore bridge training with complete anchor handling capability, from pattern interpretation and planning to picking up pennant wires, deployment, and retrieval in position. It includes full winch controls synchronised with vessel handling systems for single and multi-vessel missions.

The ARI Anchor Handling Simulator is a specialised extension of the Offshore Bridge Simulator designed to master the high-risk process of deploying and retrieving anchors in deep-sea environments. Anchor handling is a critical part of offshore installation and maintenance, requiring a deep understanding of the physical forces acting on the vessel and the anchor line. This simulator provides a richly detailed, physics-based environment where trainees can practise the entire sequence of operations, from the initial interpretation of the anchor pattern to the final retrieval of the anchor from the seabed. The accuracy of the hydrodynamic models ensures that operators experience the real-world tension and movement of the equipment.
