Improving Reality


From Surface to Seabed 
Based in the maritime heart of Ålesund, Norway, OSC is the world’s leading provider of advanced simulators for high-stakes offshore operations. We empower industries to train smarter, operate safer, and innovate faster, using cutting-edge simulation to tackle real-world challenges in offshore, maritime, and renewable energy. 

Curious about how we got to where we are today?

OSC: Your partner and solutions provider

By combining advanced software, immersive simulation, high-end visualization, and deep domain knowledge, we help you understand, design, plan, and operate even the most complex systems with ease.

Our approach breaks down silos, making critical information intuitive and accessible across roles. The result? Smarter decisions, faster execution, and greater success in high-stakes environments.

Immersive Training

Our native simulation ecosystem delivers realistic, immersive training, featuring high-fidelity graphics, true-to-life physics, and dynamic team-based scenarios. With tools like AI-guided instruction, modular interfaces, and 4D playback, you can train smarter, analyse performance, and prepare for real-world challenges.

Dynamic Bridge Operations

From full physical recreations to desktop or VR setups, our bridge simulators are built around your vessels, procedures, and team’s training needs. Every detail, from vessel fidelity and dynamic positioning to immersive visuals and live environmental controls, is designed to mirror real-world conditions. Whether for certification, rehearsal, or skill-building, we deliver the realism and flexibility your team needs to train with confidence. 

ROV Pilot & Subsea Operations Simulator

The ROV Training Simulator provides crew members, pilots, supervisors, crane operators, and vessel control teams, with a high-fidelity, risk-free environment built on OSC's native simulation ecosystem.

From basic piloting and control familiarization to complex intervention tasks and scenarios, it supports both initial training and ongoing proficiency, giving operators certifiable hours and the confidence to perform under pressure.

With customer-independent hardware integration, realistic hydrodynamic modeling, and full systems integration (ROV, TMS, LARS), the simulator replicates real-world operations with precision. Mission-based scenarios, fault response training, and team exercises ensure your crew is prepared for any subsea challenge, sharpening technical proficiency, situational awareness, and decision-making without risk to people or assets.

Pipelay & Subsea Installation

Our bespoke, high-fidelity pipelay simulator is designed to replicate the full complexity of J-lay tower operations, from crane and pipe loading to welding, tensioning, and A&R procedures. Built to match your asset, control systems, and crew’s training needs, it delivers unmatched mechanical fidelity and seamless integration with your real-world hardware.

With vendor-independent control systems, tailored HMIs, and both manual and automated operational modes, this simulator ensures your team trains on the high-consequence decisions that matter most.

Heavy-Lift & Crane Operations

Our NORSOK R-003 (G5) and DNV-compliant crane simulator is the trusted choice for leading energy companies worldwide. Scalable from compact classroom setups to full dome installations, it delivers realistic physics, immersive 3D environments, and high-risk scenario training, ensuring operators are prepared for any challenge.

With configurable hardware, vessel-specific or fleet-wide training, and real-time instructor controls, we tailor every detail to your needs.

It’s been a pleasure working with you. We at Equinor, Ocean Installer, and Axtech got exactly what we needed and feel fully prepared for the 2025 Compressor Replacement with Normand Vision and MRS. Thank you again for another great experience in the world’s best simulator, right here in Norway’s most beautiful city.

Morten Person

System Lead, Åsgard Subsea Compression Project @ Equinor

I can say without exaggeration that the simulator plays a critical role in our preparations. We’re able to prove to our crew, our clients, our marine warranty surveyors, certifying bodies, and indeed the entire market that we’re ready to take this revolutionary vessel into operation. OSC has been instrumental in this success. They’ve proven to be a reliable partner throughout this process. So thank you OSC for your support, flexibility, and creativity over the years.

Tyson Beilan

Technical Lead @ DEME

This isn't just any simulator, it's truly next level. It opens up incredible possibilities for training and operations. Thanks to OSC's expertise, we have been able to create detailed scenario -based training for our heavy lift vessel, Les Alizés. These training sessions have been a game-changer, giving us the confidence we need to carry out complex offshore operations successfully

Thomas Maes

Manager Electrical & Automation @ Jan De Nul Group

Using a simulation of offshore operations, the risk of making time-consuming and costly mistakes is highly reduced. This will have a very positive effect on the cost and the schedule for the project.

Ole Jørgen Johansen

Senior Project Manager @ Equinor

High-quality deviations, inefficiency, and time delays can be improved by simulations.

In short, simulations can be a game changer for us.
