VSTEP announces new bridge simulator order
The Cirebon Maritime Academy in Indonesia has purchased a NAUTIS DNV certified class A full-mission bridge simulator from VSTEP.
The academy is a national higher education institution tasked with educating and training officers and harbour cruise professionals. The NAUTIS simulator will allow the academy to expand its training curriculum to include IMO and DNV certified simulator training courses.
This simulator is compliant with DNV class A standards for certification No. 2.14 for maritime simulator systems and IMO model courses 1.22 and 1.32. It provides a 240-degree horizontal field of view.
VSTEP will deliver and install the simulator at the maritime academy, following which it will provide extensive simulator instructor and maintenance training to the academy instructors.
Robin Lim, business development manager, VSTEP Asia Pacific, said: 'The new NAUTIS DNV Class A simulators will provide the academy students with a realistic, highly efficient training solution that allows them to immerse, prepare and learn in full compliance with maritime regulations.
'Our engineers will deliver and install the simulator in April 2015 and will be working closely together with the Cirebon academy staff.'
