ARI Bridge Simulators: A Perfect Solution for Ship Maneuvering Training for Bridge Officers and Pilots
Bridge is the first home for an Officer of the Watch (WOO), where he spends most of his time maneuvering the ship. Many situations arise when the officer faces difficult situations to maneuver the ship under difficult circumstances. While such difficulties are obvious in turbulent sea, it depends upon the experience and training of the officer to deal with them efficiently. Hence, bridge team management training is an essential aspect of an able seaman, where the use of maritime simulator plays a pivotal role.
To help all seafarers and the trainers who are preparing them, Applied Research International (ARI) has developed state-of-the art bridge simulators. ARI ship maneuvering simulators provide a practical approach towards bridge officer and pilot training. These simulators are designed and built keeping in view all the mandatory guidelines laid down by STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping). In addition, these simulators also qualify for the NI (Nautical Institute) and DNV (Det Norske Veritas) certification courses. To mention a few, here are some salient features of ARI Full Mission Bridge Room Simulators.
