Next-Generation Offshore Operations Training
Experience ultra-realistic FPSO operations and emergency response training. Our advanced simulator replicates real environmental forces, vessel motions, system behaviour, and equipment failures—allowing crews to practice safe operations in any condition, from routine loading to extreme storms.

In-Person or online options
Pisys Training Simulators can be run on a wide range of hardware, from a single laptop up to a fully immersive motion platform, or train without travelling with our online option.

Realistic Training for FPSO teams
Combines production, Fire and gas and other key FPSO systems with an incredibly realistic stability and mooring system which allows trainees to experience the full effect of loading, weather and anchor issues on the operation of the vessel. Train for pump failures, blackouts, flooding, mooring issues, riser tension changes, stability risks, and more.

Instructor Control
Fully configurable scenarios let instructors combine events, introduce system faults, and recreate critical situations that can’t be safely performed offshore. All our simulators have the facility for an instructor to observe and interact with the trainees. The instructor can create and run scenarios as well as altering the state of the model. For example a valve which was working normally could be changed to a faulty state, or a smoke detector could be activated.
Gaps in traditional FPSO training models
Inadequate simulation of environmental/external impacts (weather, waves, mooring loss)
The FPSO Simulator offers realistic environmental modelling (waves, currents, weather) and mooring/stability interplay so trainees can experience more realistic offshore scenarios.
Limited opportunity for repeatable, parameter-driven scenario variation and review
The Simulator allows quick resets, timeline controls (pause/fast-forward) and recording for debrief and assessment. Scenarios can also be easily created by instructors
Difficult to achieve Holistic marine + process + structural + operational training
By including vessel structural and marine dynamics alongside process systems, the FPSO simulator provides a more comprehensive training environment.
Limited ability to tailor fidelity and specificity of training to vessel / client
The flexibility to create bespoke vessel models or adapt fidelity means training can be closely aligned to an actual FPSO unit, increasing relevance and transferability.
Limited ability to run fault/failure/inject-scenario training in a safe, repeatable way
The system allows instructor-led scenario injection of faults( e.g. Pump failures, cavitation, unexpected inclination), system degradations, along with recording and review.
Restricted to expensive on-site hardware
In addition to a highly realistic on-site configuration a remote option is available allowing training without travelling.

One of the strengths of the Pisys Training Simulator is that it is easy to change it, add to it, and improve it.
Huge Business Benefits
Overall the Pisys OTS simulator is a massive benefit to our business and we're really excited about the new opportunities we're getting as customers find out what we can offer.
BOOK A DEMO
We’ll walk you through our FPSO Training Simulator; letting you evaluate its features and user experience first-hand.
The Pisys simulator uses accurate hydrodynamic and hydrostatic models, real-time ballast system behavior, and environmental condition controls (wind, waves, current). It also meets DNV ST-0033 maritime simulator standards, ensuring realism and compliance with industry-approved Stability 2 and 3 course requirements
The simulator covers a wide range of normal and emergency situations, including:
| Loss of Watertight Integrity | Blackouts and Power failures | Equipment malfunctions |
| Shifts in cargo or ballast | Pump failures and efficiency loss | Black-outs and emergency generator failure |
| Instrumentation faults: tank levels, pressures, temperatures, Oâ‚‚ content, drafts | Inert Gas System malfunctions | Shifts in cargo or ballast |
| Valve, piping, and sea-chest failures | Black-outs and emergency generator failure | Load calculator and control panel status errors |
| Severe weather and mooring failure |
Because all training occurs in a controlled digital environment, trainees can repeatedly practice emergency procedures such as ballast recovery, fire suppression, and system isolation without endangering personnel or assets. It enables error-based learning that’s impossible to achieve offshore safely
Semi-submersible operations require coordination across ballast, power, cargo, and safety systems. Pisys simulators replicate interconnected vessel systems, helping trainees understand how one system’s failure impacts others. This holistic view strengthens teamwork and operational awareness
Absolutely. The instructor console allows scenario creation, control, and real-time logging. Trainers can build unique operational challenges—such as system faults or weather extremes—to assess individual and team performance under variable conditions
The simulator supports DNV ST-0033 Class B/C compliance and meets the learning objectives for Offshore Stability & Ballast Control (Stability 2) and Ballast Control Simulator (Stability 3) courses. This ensures training outcomes align with international maritime competency standards
Yes. Optional RigMove and Anchor Handling modules allow students to control up to four vessels, plan anchor spreads, manage towing, and practice station-keeping—all influenced by realistic weather and sea conditions. This prepares crews for complex offshore coordination tasks
Yes. Pisys simulators can run on laptops, desktops, or immersive hardware setups, and they support online delivery. Instructors can lead sessions remotely while monitoring performance, making it ideal for distributed teams and global training providers
Cyber Essentials Certified
Cyber Essentials helps us guard our organisation against cyber attacks. This is important because vulnerability to basic attacks can mark us out as a target for more in-depth unwanted attention from cyber criminals and others. Certification gives us and our customers peace of mind that our defences will protect against the vast majority of common cyber attacks simply because these attacks are exploiting targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place. Cyber Essentials is part our ISO27001 certification which is the global standard for Information Security Management Systems.
ISO 27001 Certified
We strive to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of all systems and data used by Pisys in their delivery of hosted applications to their worldwide client base, protecting these systems and data from all threats, internal and external, deliberate and accidental. To do this, we have deployed an information security management system (‘ISMS’) compliant with the ISO/IEC 27001 information security standard to meet our information security policy. The ISMS will allow compliance with customer contracts, and relevant laws of the UK and any company within which Pisys Ltd operates.
