Engine Room Simulator ERS 4000 2 3 The Engine Room Simulator 4000, developed by Transas, is a maritime simulator meant for the education, training and assessment of engine department personnel, includ-ing officers in charge of watch, second and chief engi-neers. ERS 4000 meets the requirements of the STCW‘95 Con-vention and Code. THE EFFECTIVE USE OF ENGINE ROOM SIMULATORS Robert F. Van Kuilenburg', Douwe Stapersma' Peter A.

Full Mission Engine Room Simulator The New Zealand Maritime School installed a Transas full mission engine room simulator in 2010 complete with full machinery control room hardware in a purpose built dual room arrangement. The simulator has five ship types with differing main propulsion arrangements, including product tanker, container vessel, RO-RO vessel, general cargo vessel and passenger cruise vessel operating with either fixed pitch prop direct coupled to a slow speed large bore diesel engine, variable pitch prop coupled through gearboxes to medium speed marine diesel engines or azipod propulsion units driven through a 'power station' medium speed diesel arrangement. All vessels have an appropriate range of auxiliary equipment including high and low pressure steam systems and turbo alternators.

The engine room simulator can be coupled to the Transas Full Mission Bridge Simulator to enable combined training exercises to be conducted. Supplementing the Full Mission Engine Room Simulator is an adjacent 24 seat computer lab which is used primarily for simulator applications and includes all the ship models available within the Full Mission simulator. Students can use these desk top units for systems familiarisation training prior to experiencing and managing exercises in the Full Mission unit. The engine room simulator can be utilised for a range of training scenarios at both the operational and management level and meets all STCW requirements and is DnVGL type approved.

Cruise, Offshore, and Tanker Training for Engineers Our ERS 5000 TechSim can accommodate several models including podded and conventional vessels, diesel-electric, and slow or medium speed plants. The ERS 5000 TechSim meets the requirements of the STCW Code and allows Resolve Maritime Academy to offer courses for engineers from all sectors of the maritime industry including the cruise, offshore, and tanker sectors. Courses utilizing the simulator include instruction on engine room familiarization, mock trials, start-up from blackout, resource management techniques and best practices during normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions including potentially catastrophic scenarios. Courses engage participants with hands-on, realistic experience, making participants perform tasks that are difficult to replicate at sea and therefore rarely, if ever, practiced properly. The ERS 5000 TechSim is also connected to our Class-A full mission bridge simulator to enable combined bridge and engine room training options for various courses including integrated systems and resource management.
