Web Based Simulation

DG Shipping, recognizing the importance of cutting-edge training methodologies, has embarked on an initiative to develop a web-based simulator for assessments

Objectives:

1.To provide a realistic and immersive training environment that replicates real-world scenarios for both engine and deck operations.

2.To integrate simulation exercises into the oral assessment section of the Certificate of Competency (CoC), thereby enhancing the assessment process with practical evaluations.

3.To ensure that the simulation exercises and module structure comply with the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) regulations and other relevant guidelines..

4.To create a web-based platform that is scalable and accessible to maritime trainees from various geographic locations, without the need for specialized hardware.

Live Virtual Simulation Framework (LVSF):

This cloud-based system will be used for all parts of the Simulation-based Modular courses, including theory, demonstrations, exercises, practical, and assessments.

1. Components of LVSF:

The LVSF will use an online cloud-based simulator for Live Cloud Simulation Sessions (LCSS) and video conferencing software for Virtual Classes/Live Video Sessions (VC/LVS).

2.The LCSS system shall have a cloud-based simulator that provides the same fidelity, physical, behavioral and visual realism as a physical full mission simulator with the physical aspects such as panels and controls.
