As maritime operations offshore get more advanced, a simulator for training of bridge operators was developed in 2001.
Offshore Simulator Center (OSC) was founded by Farstad Shipping ASA, Rolls-Royce Marine AS, Norwegian Marine Technology Research Institute (Marintek) and Aalesund University College. OSC is situated next to AAUC
As state-of-the-art, the offshore simulater at AAUC was opened in 2005. The following years, OSC have delivered simulators to several countries.
Several international maritime courses are held in the offshore simulator is being used in, as well as training of nautical students at AAUC.
