The modern technology team Wärtsilä has actually supplied a navigating simulator and also certain mathematical designs to the Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK) in the city of Rauma, Finland.
These will certainly be utilized as a crucial enabler in the Intelligent Shipping Technology Test Laboratory (ISTLAB) job, which focuses on developing a practically specific screening setting for from another location managed, independent vessels. The agreement with Wärtsilä was checked in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The examination lab job is the initial of its kind worldwide, and also its one-of-a-kind strategy makes it of wonderful rate of interest, and also of wonderful worth, to the worldwide maritime neighborhood. The program will, subsequently, determine and also open up the potential customers and also opportunities for remote pilotage.

“This project is yet another example of how Wärtsilä’s simulation technology can enable an essential testing environment for future, ready-to-go, smart marine solutions. The results of this project, and the technology involved, can be utilised worldwide to deliver enhanced safety and efficiency in marine operations,” claims Alexander Ozersky, Deputy General Manager, Voyage Solutions, Wärtsilä.
“The intention is to eventually develop an actual case study. However, first we need to carry out simulated testing, and for this the Wärtsilä technology is essential. The overall support from Wärtsilä in this tremendously important project has been critical,” claims Meri-Maija Marva, Training Manager, Satakunta University of Applied Sciences.
Wärtsilä and also SAMK have actually operated in close participation for greater than twenty years. The college currently has a complete objective simulator with 6 bridges at its center, which was set up in 2016.
