Wärtsilä’s NTPRO simulator fully compliant

The navigational simulator now has full compliance (Class A, B, C, D) with DNV’s ST-0033 Maritime Simulator Systems standard.

Wärtsilä Cloud solutions are certified to provide both the interactive exercise control required for mandatory (STCW) training and examination, as well as the self-directed detached exercise and assessment that can be undertaken to enhance or supplement Instructor controlled simulations.

“The Class D cloud simulator standards are essentially the same as the Class C classroom simulator standards,” commented Johan Ekvall, head of product, simulation and training at Wärtsilä Voyage.

“Since we use the same technology platforms in our cloud simulation solutions as we do for physical classroom Class C simulators, and provide both instructor-led as well as self-directed exercises, we already had all the necessary functional to meet and exceed the simulator standards for STCW as well as more advanced training applications,” he added.

Wärtsilä Voyage’s Cloud Simulation is a managed service that has received Product Certification from DNV, meaning that training providers using the service do not need to apply for a product certificate themselves as they typically do with a physical simulator in their training centre.
