| Kongsberg Maritime has been awarded a contract by HJS Maritime SDN. BHD, Malaysia to deliver two Polaris Ship's Bridge Simulators for use in a new centre of excellence being built for the Malaysian Marine Department. |

This key contract follows the recent installation of the world's largest 360° marine navigation simulator at the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP), Philippines and reflects Kongsberg Maritime's leading marine simulation position in Asia.
The scope of supply comprises two full mission Polaris simulators, with integrated GMDSS and a tailor-made training package with different simulation exercises, designed by a team comprising Willem Barentsz Maritiem Instituut (Netherlands), Lantec Marine Inc. (Canada) and Pelorus Intelligence & Technology Academy (Malaysia). Additionally, Kongsberg Maritime has contributed its decades of marine simulation experience to support the building of a brand new building for the Malaysian Marine Department, which is specially designed to house the Polaris simulators and other rooms dedicated to improving the marine training capabilities in Malaysia.
The pre-delivery training of six of the Malaysian Marine Department's instructors will be conducted at the Willem Barentsz Maritiem Instituut before the final installation of the simulators in June 2010. "This project brings together several key players in the world of marine simulation," continues Captain Dato Ahmad Othman. "Through Kongsberg Maritime we will be able to supply high quality simulation training in addition to having access to the research and development work at a number of key marine training organisations around the world, which will enable us to ensure our course offering is of the highest standards."
