DP simulator capacity expands in Greece
Transas Hellas and COSMOS Nautical Training Centre (Greece) have signed an agreement for supply and installation of Dynamic Positioning simulators.
Under the contract, COSMOS NTC, Transas Global ECDIS Training Network (GET-Net) Partner, will acquire Transas Class B and Class C DP simulators. These will expand the existing Transas Full Mission Bridge and the Mini Bridge Simulators, which will be upgraded to the latest Navi-Trainer Professional 5000 software. Adding a DP2 station with MT controls will make it possible to use the Full Mission Bridge as a DP simulator Class B. The existing Mini Bridge Simulators will be extended with two DP1 stations for the simulators to be used as a DP simulator Class C.
Class C DP infrastructure is currently being commissioned, while integration and commissioning of the DP Class B arrangement started at the end of last month.
Accreditation by the Nautical Institute is expected soon, with the DP courses starting at the COSMOS Nautical Training Centre by the beginning of Academic year 2013-2014.
This project is a continuation of the companies’ successful cooperation. In 2010 Transas delivered and installed a full mission bridge simulator for COSMOS NTC.
