Full Mission Ship Handling Simulator
Goals
Applied ship handling training through
computer simulation to complement the theoretical background of the
Maritime Transportation and Management Engineering students. Simulations
are directed towards the improvement of ship handling operations through
the use of various ship types navigating under simulated weather and sea
conditions in different seaways of the world. The simulator also serves
the maritime industry for officer training purposes.
The second ship bridge is mainly used
as radar mock-up, but is equipped with a 60° visual display system. The
simulator enables an accurate replication of handling characteristics of
vessels ranging from VLCCs to small patrol craft. Night and day light
operations can be simulated in a wide variety of geographic locations
and other sea areas can be constructed to meet requirements. The
instructor station allows the instructor to set up, design and modify
exercise and to control and monitor exercises. The Full Mission ship's
bridge has a wheel house equipped with highly sophisticated instruments
representing a real ship's bridge.

Goals
Improving simulator software code through cooperation with maritime
software industry.
International or onboard maritime education through long-distance web
learning. Improving maritime education and research through the
efficient use of computer based technologies. |
| |
 |
| |
Specifications

| Vessel Traffic System Sim/Lab (VTS) |
| |
Goals
Applied training of VTS operators. Especially important due to the
constricted passages of the Turkish straits system (The Straits of
Istanbul and Canakkale, Solent Passing etc.)
Specifications
3 VTS stations working in coordination with the shiphandling simulator.
Training for 3 people during one session. |
| |
 |
| |
Information
In system, own ships and instructor station can be linked to the VTS
simulator for the training of VTS operators. For the simulation of
external communication VHF Intercoms are integrated into the simulator
system in between radar cubic and VTS trainee stations. The VTS
Simulator exceeds the relevant recommendations as stated in IALA Model
