1.

2. INSTRUCTOR

The Instructor Station is the key element of the simulator. It provides the instructor
with the tools and facilities for total control over all stages of simulator operation
including generation, modification and editing of trainee exercises. Additionally, the
instructor can monitor and check trainee performance both during an exercise and
afterwards using the debriefing facility.

3. INSTRUCTOR

Instructor-Trainee interaction is the most important aspect of the simulator's
function. The instructor may change and create a differing gaming situation during
the exercise, which may include altering natural elements as well as various
auxiliary settings. The instructor may introduce faults on any equipment used on a
trainee's bridge such as Radar, Navaids, Gyro and Log.

4. INSTRUCTOR

A facility is provided to replay all previously completed exercises and
to obtain information on any stage of the exercise via the computer
monitor or projector screen, at any trainee workplace.

5. SHIP CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

The general appearance of the training bridge is also a significant aspect of the
entire simulator configuration and can make all the difference to the trainee
who should feel a realistic environment is being presented.

6. SHIP CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

The bridge equipment within the Transas Navi-Trainer series of navigational
simulators is reproduced in two ways: with “on-screen” or “hands-on” controls.
A combination of both approaches is also available.

7. RADAR/ARPA

The realistically simulated Litton’s BridgeMaster series, Kelvin Hughes’ and
Furuno’s ARPA/Radars provide the full functionality of modern digital radars
and are compliant with the international standards set out by the revised STCW
’95 for this type of equipment.

8. RADAR/ARPA

As in real-life situations, the simulated Radar/ARPA receives real-time
information relating to the vessel’s course, speed and position from the
respective simulated Gyro, Doppler Log and GPS/DGPS units which, in turn,
transmit information on the tracked targets to the ECDIS display.

9. ECDIS

Used simultaneously with the navigational simulator, the ECDIS allows a
combination of all navigational and radar–generated information to be
displayed on the electronic chart screen. Transas Navi-Sailor 2400 ECDIS, has
been awarded the world’s first international type-approval for ECDIS. This
equipment not only meets, but in many aspects exceeds, the IMO requirements
for ECDIS systems.

10. ECDIS

The Transas ECDIS, incorporated within the navigational simulator, provides
access to universal databases relating to aids to navigation, ports of call, tides
and tidal currents and climatic conditions.

11. ECDIS

The ECDIS also provides tools for route planning procedures and constant
ownship positioning display, using several positioning systems.

12. ECDIS

The simulator can also make use of a Radar Integrator Board which allows
radar information to be superimposed onto the electronic chart.

13. NAVAIDS

The Navi-Trainer simulates NavAids manufactured by such companies as
Litton Marine, Trimble, Simrad and Furuno.

14. FISHING

Fishing features may be added to the Navi-Trainer bridge simulator to provide
means of training fishing vessel operators, using the following fishing methods:
pelagic trawling, purse seining and long-lining.

15. FISHING

The fishing features of the Navi-Trainer simulator include models of fishing
vessels, fishing gear, and deck machinery used exclusively for fishing.
Computer-based simulators of deck machinery controls and fish-finding tools,
including sonar and sounder, as well as hands-on controls of deck machinery,
form an integral part of the simulator.

16. VISUALISATION

VISUALISATI
ON
The image generation system features real time production of marine visual
scenes with own ships, traffic ships, cultural objects, environmental effects,
visibility and illumination effects shown in full compliance with international
requirements set out in the revised STCW Code.

17. VISUALISATION

VISUALISATIO
N
Performance capabilities of the visual presentation in Transas simulators
include high scene upgrade rate, high scene content, full texture, fog and
lighting, Z buffering and anti-aliasing.

18. VISUALISATION

VISUALISATI
ON
An entire range of visual conditions may be displayed, showing all variations
from day, through dusk to night and from clear visibility, through haze to thick
fog, represented in any combination.

19. VISUALISATION

VISUALISATI
ON
All the features of mooring operations are presented including the use of tugs
and entering and leaving locks, with the effects on the ship’s progress and
monitoring equipment all correctly recorded, in accordance with
the trainees actions.

20. SAILING AREAS

The gaming areas included with each Transas simulator are true models of the
terrain surface including man-made objects and underwater topography. The
scene may be changed depending upon the environmental conditions such as
natural illumination, sea-level or other factors, which may be introduced into the
exercise by the instructor.

21. SHIP MODELS

Each ship's mathematical model incorporates an accurate movement in 6degrees-of-freedom. Additional sub-models are provided which allow proper
reaction of the ship to external forces such as wind, current, sea, tugs, mooring
lines and interaction with other vessels and the environment.
