| Pilot’s Professional Development |
The Academy is uniquely placed to provide Pilots with
professional development training. The combination of our manned
model ship handling facility and our full mission bridge simulator
provides a training resource that is the best. Courses ranging from
2 days to 2 weeks cater for Pilots whatever their experience and
can be tailored to meet individual customer requirements.
A wide range of geographical locations and ship types can be simulated
which means that exercise may be designed to include ship types
and pilotage situations that are specific to a client’s training
needs. Additional geographic areas can be added to meet a client’s
particular requirements.
Nocturnal, reduced visibility and full day light situations
can be simulated as can the effects of wind, tide, currents and
swell.
The portfolio of “own ships” types ranges
from VLCCs, in differing load/ballast conditions, to small coasters.
Several of the “own ships” are fitted with bow and/or
stern thrusters and others have twin screws.
Working with tugs in both direct and indirect modes,
including escort towage, can be incorporated into the exercises
and many customers include tug-masters in the course participants.
