ROC Kop van Noord-Holland, a maritime training school for seafarers, has equipped its Nautical College in Den Helder in the Netherlands with a full simulator centre developed by VSTEP.
The equipment includes three NAUTIS DNV Class B simulators, three NAUTIS Desktop Pro simulators, including instructor station, and a full engine room simulator classroom with 15 trainee stations.
With the addition of the ship bridge simulators, students will be able to learn, practice and perfect new ship and boat handling skills through certified training courses in accordance with the latest national and international standards, a statement from VSTEP said.
To maximize students training in different environments, three new custom environments were added to the existing simulator library. The new environments include the Wadden Islands, the North Holland Coastline and the NIOZ Port.
The installed engine room simulator classroom will allow students to familiarize themselves with the engines on board contemporary vessels, train with different engine configurations and teach them to solve engine room related problems through accurate simulation.
Chairman of the board of ROC Kop van Noord-Holland, Aad de Wit, said: "By providing optimal training for the growing number of students, the Nautical College caters to the shipping industry's training needs."Matson COMPAC2
