How it works
A seafarer straps on a VR headset from home, office, hotel, or anywhere else, and immediately they find themselves on the deck of a virtual EPS ship. Here they find the LNG pump and all the manifold equipment required for completing the whole LNG bunkering procedure.
They see avatars of instructors and fellow classmates training alongside them, working together and talking about what they are experiencing and learning. They can collaborate with each other to complete the operation and develop their teamwork skills, better preparing them for the real-life LNG bunkering operation.
They learn what NOT to do in real-life too. Incorrect execution of procedures results in the pump equipment exploding and dramatically ending the virtual training scenario, demonstrating the consequences of mistakes.
When they have completed the simulation, they are prompted with their own data, informing them about their performance. Instructors can use that data, to evaluate trainee’s performance and give feedback. Trainees can then run the simulator again and increase performance.
