Chalmers’ Simulator Emulates Any Vessel
01 Jan 2007
Transas has supplied a large scale simulator for the Ship Simulator Centre at the Chalmers University of Technology at Gothenburg in Sweden. The Chalmers Ship Simulator Centre’s mission is to develop and implement standards in maritime training using aviation standards as the model.
The simulator will be used by external customers such as ship’s bridge teams, pilots and tug masters as well as for investigation, research, design, and master classes. It is able to emulate any type of vessel, including tugs and high speed craft.
The scope of supply includes both primary and secondary bridges including a built in decision support system, a desktop bridge station and an interface to the SSPA hydrodynamic ship models database.
The new system consists of two ship bridges with a circular visual field of view of 270 and 200o respectively. It can deliver competency based courses for ship masters, officers and pilots; human factors related courses; crisis management on board as well as in the whole organisation; accident and incident investigation; feasibility studies for port entry by particular ships; port and fairway design; research projects; and final assessment of master class students. It also includes the scopes of Part Task Bridge Simulator and GMDSS Radio Simulator.
As a full mission ship bridge simulator, the system meets the requirements of the STCW95 convention.
