The brand-new simulator facility is viewed as assisting to minimize some training traffic jams, stated Jonas Gunnarsson, employees supervisor at Furetank.

A multi-player attribute enables communication in between captain/pilot, bridge/engine area and so on, for training in interactions abilities called for in real-life circumstances. “We can simulate 50 ship models ranging from pilot boats and cruise ships to tankers and towboats,” statedGunnarsson “You can navigate several fairways, going into the ports of Gothenburg, Rotterdam, the Oslo Fjord etc. We can also simulate moving through ice or rough sea. Only our imagination sets the limits for what shipping companies can do in this simulator.”
