Xamk (the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences) will feature Wärtsilä’s latest simulator technology at a new campus in Kotka, Finland, that will also be used by Ekami (the Joint Authority of Education of Kotka-Hamina Region) for part of its maritime training.
Ordered jointly by Xamk and Ekami, the Wärtsilä simulator will feature the latest versions of the company’s Navi-Trainer professional and Techsim simulation software, as well as the latest Navi Sailor and NACOS Platinum...
The list of demands facing naval architects is expanding and includes things like increasing efficiency, lowering costs, and meeting ESG goals. Ticking all the boxes demands a revised strategy for ship design that prioritises simulation as reported by Ship Technology.
Designing a shipProportions, hull, structures, weight, materials – just some of the considerations that go into designing a ship.
The four-phase approach to taking a ship from mission statement to vessel, consisting of concept,...

One of the biggest debates around the future of shipping is what role, if any, unmanned vessels will play. The journey may turn out to be more important than the destination: the pursuit of vessel autonomy is already leading to smarter systems that can enhance safety, cost-efficiency, and environmental performance even on today’s vessels. Simulation technology is playing a key role in their development, says an article published on Assafina.

One of Europe’s longest established pilotage operations, the Le Havre pilot station in France with roots going back to the 16th century, is to get a cutting-edge 21st century navigational simulator.
The Le Havre pilots have placed an order that will see Wärtsilä supply the station with an upgrade that will create a totally new simulator specifically adapted to the requirements of their operations. It will use a new, unique visualization system based on 14 digital projectors, comprising seven...

With LNG becoming a more popular option as a marine fuel, seafarers must learn a raft of new skills and competencies to ensure its safe handling. While most have experience of working with heavy fuel oil and diesel, many lack operational knowledge of gas fuels, reports Riviera Maritime Media.
Specialized Training coursesThere is a growing need for hands-on training using both real equipment and simulators to ensure safety on dual-fuel vessels.
This has led to the development of specialised...
