Realism is the key

Article Abstract:

Warsash Maritime Center believes that quality training and a realistic training environment are keys to successful simulation-based learning. However, the simulator will only be able to provide effective training, testing and evaluation tool and reproduce the limitations of the shipboard equipment if correctly supervised. Bridge and engine room teamwork, emergency procedures and pilot training are included the standard courses offered by the center.

Hands-on simulation

Article Abstract:

The 1995 amendments to the IMO's Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers were meant to give light to various interpretations on the mandate. Standards governing the use of simulators in training are included in the regulation which also requires that the simulator must be able to simulate physical realism relevant to training objectives, operating capabilities of shipboard equipment and the limitations of the equipment.
