Thome Group sets up simulator
The Thome Group, a Singaporean provider of services to the shipping and offshore industries, installed a ‘full mission navigation bridge simulator’ with a 320⁰ view on 20 January in Makati City, in the Metro Manila region of the Philippines.
The visual system brings geographic locations, weather conditions and nearby vessels to life, enabling trainees to learn to interact with their environment. In the safe training-room environment trainees will use equipment that looks and feels just like the systems on vessels.
This is Thome’s second navigation simulator in Manila. The new system offers navigational training, including bridge team management, ship handling, ship-to-ship manoeuvres, deck simulator assessment as well as ice navigation. Training can also be customised to clients’ requirements.
