General information

Ship Simulator Professional and Ship Simulator Instructor Station Suite are software products, which can be used for maritime training, running on anything from a single laptop to a Full Mission bridge Simulator with a 360-degree outside view. There are many other configurations possible, depending on the training needs and available space and budget.

Desktop Trainer

Ship Simulator Professional can be installed on a standard PC or laptop with the minimum specification.

Single-screen console

For some special-task trainers, like ECDIS, radar, ARPA, and AIS, a basic console with two navigation panels and one outside view screen can be suitable.

Triple-screen console

With a configuration of 3 outside views and a console of 3 navigation panels, additional training options become possible, like ship handling and manoeuvring in ports.

DNV Class B

DNV has defined a Class A and a Class B type simulator, based on the STCW standards on the use of simulators. We took these requirements as a basis for the design of our Class B bridge simulator.

Inland cargo vessel simulator

SSPro can also be used as the basis for a simulator for inland waterways and related vessels. Such vessels usually have a smaller bridge, designed to be operated by just one person. Some devices are operated with foot buttons.

RHIB trainer

SSPro can also be used as the basis for a simulator for small fast craft, like RHIBs. RHIBs are increasingly used for special operations, like anti-terrorist and anti-piracy operations.

Instructor Station

The Instructor Station is a mandatory element of the STCW simulators. It is also a useful instrument for other types of training.

Debriefing Station

Post-exercise debriefing can be done in several ways. The instructor can record all ship movements of an exercise, and play them back on the Instructor Station. The Exercise Manager component of the Instructor Station offers both a 3D bird’s eye view of the exercise area and a 2D chart view, with the option to show the tracks of the vessels. During a replay of a recorded exercise, it is possible to connect the trainee simulator station again with the instructor station, so the same viewpoint can be re-established.
