“It is feasible to develop high-technology relying on domestic resources!”Interview with Lev S. Lazarev, Director General of “Muromsky Radiozavod
June 10, 2010
May 2010 – Hamburg,Germany. Transas Marine, Hamburg (Germany), has been awarded the contract for two simulation systems that will be delivered and installed onboard two ships operated and owned by shipping company Intership Navigation Co. Ltd. (ISN).
The “K Class” Capesize Bulk Carriers “MV Lancelot” and “MV Percival” with a capacity of 178.000 dwt each are currently being built at New Times Shipyard in Jing Jiang, China. The highly sophisticated vessels are most energy efficient and equipped with unique propulsion aids. The Transas scope of supply comprises the software for an Engine Room Simulator (ERS 4000) and the software plus dedicated hardware for a Navi-Trainer Professional 5000 ship handling simulator.
While the scope of supply for the two Transas simulators in particular is not unusual, the place of installation and the customer’s training concept definitely is: the training systems on board real ships will enable underway training connected with nautical / marine engineering work in the mariners’ professional environment.
“MV Lancelot” will be used as a platform for nautical training onboard the vessel. Besides the real wheelhouse there will be a dedicated room one deck below the bridge which will be equipped with a Transas NTPro 5000 ship handling simulator and is intended for training of officer cadets. This ‘secondary’ bridge comprises the instructor station and one own ship bridge in a dedicated manoeuvring console.
The same hardware controls (Telegraph, tiller, steering wheel and autopilot), and the ECDIS/Radar operator workstations that are used on the real bridge (IBS concept of Raytheon) are also represented in the simulator. This configuration increases training efficiency and compatibility with the onboard equipment of “MV Lancelot”.
The simulated bridge comprises the new NTPro 5000 radar/ARPA software module, the central Conning Display, an NavAids station and three visualization modules which form visualization system of approximately 120° width on three large LCD displays. The LCD displays will be placed in front of the ship’s windows.
There is a special and unusual feature in the simulator: the LCD displays which are mounted in lateral guiding rails can be raised or lowered behind the trainee console. When lowered, the view outside the ship’s windows on the “real environment” is enabled. The simulator bridge can then be used in a ‘live mode’, i.e. it is then connected to the ship’s real navigation systems and receiving real data. Change from simulation to live mode and vice versa is done with a hardware switch. For communication training a Transas TGS 4100 GMDSS simulator with instructor station and one trainee workplace is integrated in the simulator configuration.
The factory acceptance test for this unique simulator was successfully passed in April at the Transas premises in Hamburg. Afterwards all components were shipped to the building yard for installation and commissioning in summer 2010.
“MV Percival” will be used as a platform for marine engineering training and is equipped with a Transas Engine Room Simulator (ERS 4000) with one instructor station and six interconnected trainee workplaces. Two different vessels from the ERS 4000 ship model library are licensed in the training facility. The classroom will also be integrated into the ship’s deck house, the standard PC hardware will be supplied by the contractor.
Capt. Eugen Adami, MD of ISN: “In the today’s difficult financial times many companies have to stop or reduce training activities. But here in ISN we have decided not to do that and continue with our program as planned.” And further on: “We consider Transas as our strategic partner when it comes to training.”
Cyprus based Intership Navigation is a member of the German Hartmann Group. ISN is a ship owning company, but also performing third party ship management for a small number of owners. The company technically manages a fleet of more than 50 owned vessels, which consist mainly of dry bulk and breakbulk vessels. ISN also has an orderbook of further 40 vessels all to be delivered until 2012. Intership Navigation employs more than 2,700 seafarers on board its ships, with another 1,500 seafarers on leave and has its own fully owned training school in Manila, equipped with Transas Simulators.
