The Full Mission Bridge Simulator, Wärtsilä Navi-Trainer Professional NTPRO 6000 DNV Class A, features a main deck with a 270-degree panoramic view and four secondary decks, enabling multi-vessel and team-based simulation exercises. The simulator includes 38 maritime and 3 inland navigation areas, supporting both initial training of cadets and young officers and advanced training for senior officers and pilots.
The simulator allows for a wide variety of learning scenarios, from basic manoeuvres on ships of various sizes and tonnages, to complex situations involving navigation in extreme conditions, such as heavy traffic or adverse weather conditions, and emergency operations, including search and rescue (SAR). It also allows for teamwork exercises to manage challenging navigation situations and is equipped with a dedicated debriefing room for performance review and error analysis, thus enhancing the learning outcomes.
Using advanced 3D graphics technologies, the simulator offers a highly realistic representation of the navigation environment, including ports, routes and obstacles, allowing trainees to experience various navigation conditions in a safe environment. The simulator is fully integrated with the latest navigation systems, such as ECDIS, Radar and GMDSS, providing a learning experience that closely mimics the conditions on board sea and river navigation vessels.
The DP Simulator consists of:
- Main bridge equipped with a K-Sim® Offshore Simulator Class A, designed for the advanced and integrated ships bridge simulation training. It is based on a cutting-edge technology platform enabling realistic training scenarios and enhanced user benefits for both instructors and students. An advanced new physical engine and state-of-the-art hydrodynamic modelling allow vessels, objects and equipment to behave and interact as in real life. Vessels and objects including various geographical training areas and all possible weather conditions are brought to life with a sophisticated new visual system.
- The instructor station features a dual-screen configuration and a large “drone-view” visual display. The communication with the bridge is controlled using CCTV camera system and microphones. The trainer can control several bridges in a joint operation scenario or in separate bridge modes, where each bridge conducts its own exercise. A DP OS-3 station is included for monitoring trainees’ interaction with DP equipment.
- DP Training Room, designed to meet the requirements of the DP Induction course and theoretical sessions of the DP Simulator course, equipped with 8 Class C individual stations.
The Helicopter Underwater Escape Training simulator accurately replicates a helicopter cockpit being able to simulate a controlled water crash. The simulator is essential in the organization of training programs for personnel safety on oil rigs, such as BOSIET, FOET and HUET, offering a highly realistic training experience in a controlled environment.
A new-generation HUET simulator will be commissioned in the near future to complement the existing one. This versatile unit can be set up to simulate a specific type of helicopter or reconfigured so as to simulate the crash of an aircraft into the water or the capsizing and submersion of a boat or land vehicle.
The Wärtsilä ERS TechSim 5000 Engine Room simulator offers a highly accurate replica of on-board ship systems, simulating both the engine room and the control room. The engine room includes five operating stations, each dedicated to a specific system: main engine, auxiliary engine, boiler, water production and treatment plant, ballast system, steering gear, and emergency engine. The simulator also features a classroom equipped with ten interactive workstations, where trainees can perform individual exercises to understand the operation of various types of engines and on-board systems, including those found on LCHS tankers. The simulator also supports the diagnosis and troubleshooting of mechanical and electrical systems, helping trainees build critical problem-solving skills in a safe and controlled environment.
The High Voltage Maritime Simulator is an advanced solution for training crews and technicians in real operating conditions. It features a 6.6 kV switchgear unit equipped with an ABB VD4 circuit breaker, offering a secure and highly realistic environment for practicing operational procedures, maintenance, and diagnostics of high-voltage maritime equipment.
CERONAV also has a second high-voltage training cell, fitted with an air separator and high-voltage fuses. This setup allows trainees to safely perform essential procedures such as disconnection, isolation, hazardous voltage verification, and mandatory grounding protection.
To ensure full compliance with maritime safety standards, the simulator is equipped with personal protective equipment, insulation testing instruments, and devices for detecting the presence of high-voltage loads. This comprehensive training environment provides a hands-on experience in handling high-voltage systems safely and effectively.
Kongsberg Neptune ERS-SRV-01 & LCHS Ship Simulator for the transport and handling of bulk liquid cargoes, including oil products, chemicals, and liquefied gases feature five interactive workstations that enable trainees to carry out individual exercises on ships equipped with different propulsion systems, such as electric propulsion, two-stroke engines (slow and medium-speed), dual-fuel engines, azipods, and electronically controlled engines or LCHS ships such as chemical tankers, VLCC oil tankers, LPG tankers, Moss LNG tankers, Membrane LNG tankers. These configurations allow for in-depth understanding of on-board systems and equipment, allowing trainees to explore the structure, operation, and diagnostic procedures for both mechanical and electrical systems specific to each ship type.
CERONAV has 3 state-of-the-art GMDSS Class A simulators: two Wärtsilä TGS 5000 simulators and one Poseidon PHAROS simulator, providing advanced training for obtaining GOC, ROC, and LRC certificates as well as a unique learning experience. The simulators cover all GMDSS areas, accurately replicating the mandatory equipment from leading manufacturers such as VHF (DSC & RT), MF/HF (DSC, RT & TLX), NAVTEX, INMARSAT C, IRIDIUM, SART and AIS-SART radar, portable maritime VHF RT, X-Band radar (9 GHz/3 cm for SAR exercises), RT for aviation, battery panel, distress box and mandatory documentation (including operating manuals and ITU/IMO publications). Each simulator is equipped with hardware panels featuring VHF, MF/HF (DSC and radiotelephony), distress boxes (for passenger ships), and battery monitoring panels.
In addition, four classrooms are equipped with real radio communications equipment including two consoles arranged to replicate a shipboard communication setup, covering all GMDSS areas (A1-A4). These can be connected back-to-back for interactive exercises or to real antenna, allowing communication with ships worldwide. Available equipment include: VHF (DSC &RT), MF/HF (DSC, RT & TLX), INMARSAT-C, Navtex receiver, backup power sources/batteries and original operating manuals. For practical demonstrations, CERONAV provides 7 different SART radars, 4 portable VHF RTs, 7 EPIRBs, PLBs, demonstration radio equipment (VHF DSC+RT), GPS devices and NAVTEX receivers.
The Wärtsilä ECDIS Simulator is an advanced training tool designed to enhance crew proficiency in the use of electronic chart and navigation information systems. Offering a highly accurate simulation of a real ECDIS system, it enables training in a controlled environment that closely mirrors actual navigation conditions.
Key features of the simulator include an instructor station with multiple screens and monitoring capabilities, allowing instructors to supervise and guide training sessions effectively. Additionally, there are eight individual workstations, each equipped with three dedicated touchscreens for ECDIS, Conning, ARPA RADAR, navigational instruments, and more. Each workstation also includes a specialized ECDIS keyboard and a ship control console.
The simulator provides a comprehensive learning experience, allowing trainees to master ECDIS operations, route planning, manoeuvring, and the interpretation of navigational data. By utilizing real geographic data and simulated weather conditions, it supports a wide range of navigation scenarios, from open sea navigation to complex port manoeuvres.
