La simulation est largement utilisée dans l'industrie aéronautique pour l'entraînement des pilotes. De même, des simulateurs de passerelle de bateau sont utilisés pour former les équipages des navires. L'efficacité de ce type d'entraînement, souvent exigé par les réglementations, est reconnue dans les normes internationales. Une nouvelle application de cette technologie de simulation est actuellement développée […]

Dans l'industrie maritime et côtière, la sécurité des petites embarcations telles que les canots de sauvetage et les embarcations rapides de sauvetage est un enjeu primordial pour les concepteurs, les utilisateurs et les organismes de réglementation. Cet enjeu concerne non seulement le caractère fiable de la conception mais encore la sécurité de la formation et […]

Canada’s social and economic interests are directly linked to marine operations, some of which take place in ice-covered waters. These ships require experienced bridge officers who are proficient in operating in ice. Experience in ship-ice operations is very difficult to obtain. This project will provide a means for seafarers to acquire the skills necessary to […]

Simulation training is widely used in the aircraft industry to train pilots to operate aircraft. Likewise, ship bridge simulators are used to train the crews of large vessels. The efficacy of this type of training is recognized by international standards and is often required by regulations. A new application of simulation training technology is being […]

In the marine and offshore industry, the safety of small vessels such as life boats and fast rescue crafts is a critical issue to designers, operators and regulation bodies. It concerns not only the reliable design, but also the safe training and operation. Accurate prediction of small vessel motions in waves is essential to the […]

With dramatic improvements in vessel performance and tactical systems of high speed crafts in recent years, naval, coast guard and law enforcement agencies increasingly task them to complete a growing range of operational objectives. The combination of faster vessels, more sophisticated systems and extended responsibilities has driven fleet operators to re-examine how their boat crews […]

This Mitacs Internship with Virtual Marine Technology in partnership with Chalmers University and Memorial University will focus on improving the safety of crew who work at marine and offshore environments. The intern will work with researchers at Chalmers University to identify safety and risks concerns relating to operations in marine vessels (Le. preliminary engine room […]
