Maritime Simulator Centre Finnished at Meriturva
01 Sep 2002
The procurement was achieved within the framework of the debt of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Finland based on the Russian-Finnish Intergovernmental Agreement of November 2000. With enhanced ship handling and VTS operator training facilities, the Meriturva Centre becomes one of the largest maritime training establishments in Europe.
The new simulation facility comprises four full-mission navigational bridges, a VTS operator's station, an instructor's station, engine room simulator, GMDSS communications and liquid cargo handling (LCH) simulators as well as the oil spill response management simulator Oil Guard. The complex has also been fitted with several Transas ECDIS navigational consoles which are used on board many Finnish vessels.
The ship model library supplied with the simulator contains more than 60 highly accurate models of different vessel types, including passenger vessels, high speed craft, containerships, tankers, fishing vessels, ferries and tugs.
The sailing area database covers all the major navigational regions, straits and ports throughout the world. Following the request of the Meriturva Centre, Transas has developed new exercise areas for Finnish waters, including all fairways and pilot routes.
