FMBS Overview
• Near “real” visualization of marine environment.
• The own ship behavior and target vessels are
rigorously modeled to correctly exhibit 6 degrees‐
of‐freedom under combined effect of internal,
external and interactive forces.
• All navigation equipment designed and equipped
in accordance with performance standards for
navigational equipment.
• Vast range of navigational scenarios including
open sea, coastal navigation, high traffic density
areas, arrival and departure ports, berthing and
un‐berthing, anchoring and others.
• Varying conditions of visibility, time and day,
wind, current, tides and weather can be simu‐
lated.
• Software is entirely modular, scalable, and can be
further customized to meet specific requirements.
• All hardware used including computers,
monitors and projectors are ‘off‐the‐shelf’ and
eliminate any dependency on specific make or
model.
• Engine alarms panel and controls allow simulation
of unmanned engine room.
Exercise Areas
Exercise areas allow for anything from simple
navigation to complicated traffic and pilotage
situations, including realistic docking down to
accurate effects of mooring lines, anchors and tugs.
In addition, a generic open‐sea area can be used for
exercises requiring ample sea room or for SAR tasks.
These areas include Europort, Dover Straits, South‐
ampton, Milford Haven, approaches to Felixstowe,
Felixstowe Port, Gibraltar Straits, Bosporus Canal,
Malacca Straits, Dardanelles, Singapore Straits and
Singapore Port, approaches to Bangkok River, and
Tokyo Bay and approaches. Additional training areas
can be developed if needed. Now, under develop‐
ment are the North Sea from Germany to English
Channel, Port of Hamburg and Port of Bremen.
Mini Bridges
Unlike the FMBS, the mini bridges have a horizontal
field of view of only 90 degrees and the access to
some instruments is limited by the available
screens. These simulators can be used for training
from cadet to Master, subject to the appropriate
exercises. The fidelity of the model behavior is just
as accurate as in the full mission bridge simulator.
The mini bridges have fully functioning RADAR/
ARPA, ECDIS, AIS and complete GMDSS. For plot‐
ting and traditional chart work, there is also a con‐
venient chart table.
CCTV and audio recording are in addition to the
playback of the exercises and corresponding data.
All can be used for extensive and detailed de‐
briefing of participants.
