Multi-purpose Simulator

'The multipurpose simulator (MPS) consists of four ships bridges which can be utilised to undertake a wide range of training and professional development courses.

Each ships bridge includes two radars and an ECDIS system in an environment that closely resembles equipment and layouts found in the 'real world'.

The simulator is able to replicate a range of ship types and sizes, target vessels and geographical databases in which to exercise.

Each bridge can be running different exercises, the same exercise can be run separately on each bridge or an interactive exercise can be created whereby all four of the ships are involved in the same exercise simultaneously.

The simulator allows for total and instantaneous control over traffic and environmental conditions.
