Cargo Handling Simulator- Product Carrier

The Kongsberg Maritime PC-based Cargo Handling Simulator is STCW95-approved and DNV-certified. The system provides students with an understanding of the knowledge and application of stability, trim and stress tables, diagrams and stress calculation equipment. The simulator allows for planning and executing fundamental actions in the event of partial loss of intact buoyancy.

The four-station Cargo Handling lab features 20" TFT monitors for high-fidelity display and user comfort. The Cargo Handling Simulator is fully integrated with the Centre's full-mission navigation simulator, allowing for a broader range of realistic training scenarios.
