The Engine Room Simulator consists of an engine room control room with comprehensive distributed control and electrical power and distribution systems, remotely located emergency switchboard room and engine room. It is ideal for team based engine room resource management training. It can be linked to a bridge simulator to provide a total ship simulation training environment.

WMA's FMS training uses a newly commissioned Kongsberg Maritime Polaris bridge simulator with 270 degree horizontal view, which can be panned through 360 degrees and with offset views. Control equipment replicating various vessel configurations are available including single/twin screw, single/twin rudders, bow/stern thrusters and azipods. An extensive portfolio of ownships and database areas exists. Others can be built to order. Independent desktop consoles can drive two additional ownships/tugs.

The Liquid Cargo Operation Simulator (LICOS) provides real time simulation of the process flow control systems used in the storage and transfer of potentially hazardous bulk liquids.

Currently LICOS is capable of representing the controls, equipment, machinery, instrumentation and alarms associated with 7 ship types:

• LNG (membrane)
• LNG (spherical)
• LPG
• VLCC
• Double Hull crude oil/products carrier
• Chemical tanker
• Floating production storage and offloading facility
