Alphatron Marine renews ECDIS lab

In the past five years, the company has trained and certified many thousands of captains, officers and seafarers on the ECDIS IMO model course and Type Specific Training (TST) of various manufacturers, but it also trains non-sea going personnel. With its renewed ECDIS lab it claims it is able to respond to the changing market requirements.

Alphatron can provide up-to-date ECDIS Type Specific Training on both Transas and JRC technologies and is capable of switching between software and applications on the same classroom navigation simulator. This is especially useful for non-sea going personnel. In addition to TST for both manufacturers, Alphatron can fulfil the growing demand for ECDIS and other navigational equipment for responsible staff in offices of crewing agencies, superintendents, shipping companies and harbour authorities.

For seagoing trainees, the workstations will provide improved situational awareness as all main sensors relate to the panoramic view.
