SURVIVAL CRAFT SIMULATOR

IMO has recently approved the use of simulation within the lifeboat coxswain training.

Wärtsilä is offering a quality-certified simulator solution for Survival Craft Training according to the Survival Craft Competences of STCW described in tables A-VI/2-1.

This product release focuses on a single pivot, gravity type davit launched enclosed lifeboat, launched from a typical mid-size tanker, however additional models will be supported in future versions.

Compared to real lifeboat training, following values and

benefits with simulation are identified:

Prepare survival craft

Launch and board survival

craft

Maneuver survival craft to clear ship and

return falls

Recover and stow survival craft

USAGE OF FOS DATA IN NTPRO

• This Smart Marine solution enables users to utilize FOS collected and aggregated data and practically apply them in NTPro simulators for debriefing, assessment, incident\accident investigations, GAP-analysis and as a base for creating a realistic scenario without having to manually define all target information.

• The primary source data (Navigation and Meteo) is the data received from the vessels and other objects and stored on TRANSAS cloud servers:

• Own ship data including timestamped positions, SOG, ROT, AIS ship type and dimensions

• AIS targets data including timestamped positions, SOG, ROT, AIS ship type and dimensions, Navigational status, IMO and MMSI numbers (if available)

• AIS data from meteorological stations (if available)

• True wind speed and direction from the ownship

• The output data is an NTPro exercise, which is fully compatible with the ‘target’ simulator in regard to format, data sets, databases, performance etc.

ICE MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONALITY

As an addition to the existing Ice Functionality, Wärtsilä has developed an Ice Management Functionality. This

functionality provides detailed breaking of the ice, instead of creating channels in one huge ice field, the ice is now broken

up in small bits and pieces, which interacts with each other, structures, hulls, propeller wakes and the bottom.

TYPICAL SCENARIOS

• Ice management with multiple ice-breakers

• Risk identification

• A-to-B transit in various ice concentrations

• Search & Rescue in ice covered and remote areas

• Port and fairway studies in ice covered areas

INSTRUCTOR CRANE FUNCTIONALITY

The Crane Cargo Functionality is a functionality, enabling the instructor to control the lattice boom crane on Semisubmersible 1 ship AH and the knuckle boom crane on OSV 3 AH. The crane can be operated on the own ship as well as on the 6 DOF target.

The main purpose of the CCF is to create a realistic environment during DP and advanced ship handling scenarios.

TRANSFERABLE OBJECTS/CARGOS

• Containers (10ft, 20ft and 40ft)

• Personnel Basket

The cargo library will increase as a part of ongoing development and will include various

types of cargos including subsea equipment. The new cargos will be available for all users

and is planned to be ready in mid-2019.

The crane is controlled from the Offshore Panel in NTPRO instructor station and all

movements can be observed on the Instructor chart or on the 3D Instructor Selective View.

All moving parts of the crane is controllable through an intuitive user interface;

• Luffing

• Hoisting/lowering hook

• Slewing

INSTRUCTOR ON CHART CONTROL 3-DOF TARGET CONTROL

A new way of controlling 3 DOF targets which

are not assigned to a route has been developed.

The instructor clicks (LMB) the vessel and the

movement controls will appear. The target will

adapt to the new settings in realistic manner (not

jump instantly).

REWIND FUNCTIONALITY

New functionality that improves training effectiveness on NTPRO Bridge, enabling multiple re-play of any part of exercise without

restarting entire exercise session.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Correction of critical trainee mistakes during long exercises;

• Comparing different operation strategies on Bridge, replaying the same part of exercise;

By means of this functionality, the instructor may change traditional simulator training process by performing “on-line exercise

debriefing” giving to trainee immediate feedback on all his faults and mistakes. At any time of exercise, the instructor may initiate

repeated execution of the same exercise part, by pausing and returning to “past time”.

The functionality has following limitations:

• Anchor Handling, Oil spillage, SCS, Ice management and Fish Farm does not support rewinding.

• Joint operations with ERS.

• E-Tutor will be restarted from scratch.

• HW controls and external systems (DP system, ECDIS and so on) should be manually restarted/reset.

• Conning device settings (Autopilot, Gyro, Log, Echo etc.).

REMOTE INSTRUCTOR CONTROL

This new functionality is intended for exercise control by the instructor from any point

of NTPRO Bridge (Instructors, who supervise trainee performance, located on a

bridge during exercise session).

The Remote Instructor Panel is a WEB application, running on Android\Windows

Tablet (iOS is tested as well and works except for full-screen mode), communicating

with NTPRO via unique WEB Server.

The WEB Server is a NTPRO Root application, which provides access to simulator

data via Wi-Fi.

The Remote Instructor Panel displays exercise charts (same as on main Instructor

station). The instructor can select active loaded session, pause and resume it, set

different event markers, zoom\pane chart, get basic vessel\targets information

including vectors.

ADVANCED FAULTS AND ACTION SYSTEM

A new Instructor functionality unifies process of faults setup: before

exercise, during exercise, and dependent upon time and conditions.

All simulator faults setup are now done from the integrated “Faults

panel” which makes this process flexible and controllable.

“Faults panel” also used in e-Tutor, for creating different faults

scenarios (automatic faults introduction depending upon time and

conditions).

New faults system includes:• Introduction of random and systematic errors of all sensors (GPS,

Gyro, Log, Wind etc.);• Introduction of faults and errors of Propulsion, Steering and

Thrusters systems;• Introduction of background noises for VHF receivers;• Control of vessel power plant (Diesel Generators, tie\bus breakers

etc.) ;

MNS 34

MNS 34 including NS4000, NR4000, Navi Planner 4000 and MFD functionality, is the

default MNS version in NTPRO 5.40.

Chart assistant is no longer available which means that Navi Planner is now required for

chart operations.

SUPPORT FOR NEW DYNAMIC POSITIONING SYSTEM

NTPRO will support the Wärtsilä NACOS DP Platinum and General Electrics. The interfaces will be similar as the one used for Marine

Technologies and Rolls Royce but with MODBUS for communication with thrusters and Power Management.

Both Wärtsilä and GE has a broad application spectra, having experience of DP installations on almost any type of maritime and oil/gas

platforms such as OSV’s, Drillships, Shuttle Tankers, Cable/pipe lay, Heavy lift, Passenger ships and Naval ships.

INTEGRATION WITH TECHSIM SAFETY MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM

Safety Monitoring and Control System (SMCS) is a new module within TECHSIM, which replicates typical Safety and Security Center of

cruise vessel (Passenger Cruise Ship 16) and is used in Joint Operation mode with NTPRO.

The module is primarily designed to imitate and control the following emergency situations: fire, smoke, flooding, abandonment. SMCS

simulator is closely linked to Bridge simulator.

Deck flooding simulated in Safety and Security simulator affects vessel dynamics in NTPRO.

BRIDGE SOUNDS MODEL

Special efforts have been made to improve the external sounds on the simulator bridge.

This includes • calculation of collision and grounding sound intensity, sounds generated

by engines and propulsion revolution. • calculation of collision and grounding sounds are based on the kinetic

energy radiated during vessel contact with other vessels, bottom or mooring fenders.

• mechanical sounds on the vessel bridge, is simulated as a sum of multiple sound sources: engines, thrusters, generators and propellers. Each sound source has multiple wav. samples, which depends upon source type and revolution frequency.

Intensity and spectra of summary sound on the bridge depends upon distances to sound sources and absorption properties of the wheelhouse.

ADVANCED MOORINGS MODEL (MOORING FENDERS)

A new model is added, which simulates a typical fender system of vessel moorings.

Mooring fenders are simulated as separate objects, attached to a mooring wall, with correct reaction force and energy absorption.

Mooring fenders can be added by Instructor to an exercise as an “Advanced fender zone”.

LONGSHORE CURRENTS

A new way of inserting currents has been developed. The object Stream line– is a line consisting of one or more segments where each segment determines current vector (speed and direction).

The Stream line object was developed to simulate rip curls along a beach/coastline, but the functionality can be used to create any current pattern and the speed and direction is interpolated between the different current set points. A typical use case is river currents.
