MARIN Multi-purpose simulators

Multi-purpose simulators

For the simulation of smaller ships, four multipurpose simulators are available. These versatile simulators can be used for tugs, inland vessels and supply ships etc. They consist of a one-man bridge setup with radar, ECDIS, conning and alarm screens. Visuals are provided through large TV screens in portrait mode, providing a 360° view. Two of the multipurpose simulators are equipped with additional screens on the floor and ceiling, so they can be used for crane operations.

All simulators in the SOSc can be coupled and operated from various operating stations. This makes it possible to conduct simulations where a large ship (on the LMS or FMB) is assisted by one to four tugs operated from the multipurpose simulators.
