ABERDEEN -- Kongsberg Maritime has opened a new training and marine simulation center in Aberdeen.

The new center will provide specialist training ranging from familiarization to advanced courses on dynamic positioning and offshore acoustic positioning using the company’s advanced simulation systems.
