Use of the simulator provides experience in the basic operation of various types of ships and permits repeated training of different techniques, so trainees can learn how the vessel responds under a range of weather and sea conditions and in different port call operations. Staff with extensive and specialized onboard experience add a new dimension to the training experience.
Shiphandling Training
Purposes for training vary — preparing for assignment on an larger vessel or a different type of ship, berthing in critical winds, learning port call procedures specified by port authorities, captains about to assume their first commands, new officers, and so on.
The simulator helps trainees understand each vessel's characteristic behavior patterns and acquire various ship-handling skills through hands-on simulator practice and promotes safe ship operation through the functions outlined above.
- Shiphandling Training (examples)
-
- Port call in/out shiphandling training for captains
- Port call in/out shiphandling training for pilots
- Port call in/out shiphandling training for berth masters
- Single buoy mooring(SBM) berthing shiphandling training
- Docking/departure training for dock masters
- Coastal navigation training for officer of the watch
- Captain assistant training for officer of the watch
- Freshman Deck officer training
Much of the equipment on the bridge simulator is the same as on MOL-operated large-scale merchant vessels.
BRM Training
Bridge Resource Management (BRM) training prevents marine accidents by fully utilizing all resources (people, material, and information) to eliminate problems caused by human errors such as miscommunication, misunderstanding, slip/lapse of operation, and so on.
We started joint BRM studies with MOL, and began offering BRM training shortly after launching the simulator in 1996. Over the ensuing years, the content of our BRM training has continually evolved to keep up with the latest trends in the maritime industry.
