NSB Invests in New Simulator
began in June and is expected to last three months.The NSBacademy has two ship‐handling simulators with a field of view of 270° and 180° respectively. Both units are being completely overhauled. The new Wärtsilä Simulators will include the new version of Navi‐Trainer professional simulation software, the latest NACOS PLATINUM Bridge systems (including multi‐pilot workstation for ECDIS, radar and conning applications) combined with high‐performance visualization system and modern IBID (Interactive Bridge Information Display) technology, a 55‐inch voyage planning table connected to the
Norwegian Partners Developing Cloud-based Maritime Training
Kongsberg Digital (KDI) and the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) are partnering to develop cloud-based simulation exercises for the international maritime education market.As a developer of cloud-based simulation software, KDI is aiming to drive the evolution of cloud simulation technology as a sustainable and immersive supplementary tool for building competencies within the maritime industry, the company said, adding its partnership agreement with USN will seek to scale up the scope of maritime training. The commercial agreement will enable USN to develop its cloud-based training products and
WinGD Opens Virtual Reality Engine Room Facilities
installations at strategic locations around the world. As well as being the first installation of WinGD’s dedicated, multi-touchscreen simulation hardware in China, the Shanghai FMS system is also first to be pre-programmed with specially adapted versions of the engine-specific W-Xpert simulation software WinGD develops with its partner UNITEST Marine Simulators Ltd, based in Gdynia, Poland. The FMS training facility at the Marine Power Academy, where some 500 crew are trained each year, is shared by HHM and WinGD, and both report that the system is proving very popular with course

always come with the ability to diversify. As long as we remain aware and on point with industry standards, changes and competencies, and develop or adjust programs to meet these needs at every turn, there is never-ending room for growth. Specifically, we will continue to develop scenarios and simulation software for specific routes of the Mississippi River, we will continue to expand program offerings to cater to a more expansive population of mariners at all levels, and we will continue to update our fire field and obtain new training props and equipment to keep us at a state-of-the-art level.
