Shared simulation environment

Maritime co-operation simulators, consisting of navigation and engine room simulators, are located on SAMK Campus Rauma.

Navigation simulators

  • Finland's only 360-degree visual, dynamic positioning command bridge
  • four 120-degree command bridges, all with dynamic positioning function
  • nine navigation simulator stations
  • radio simulator work stations

Navigation simulators can be used to practice the use of the radar, the use of an electronic chart system, and bridgework. Simulations are most often used to practice and test ship steering, emergencies, and communication.

The simulators have stability programs for ten different types of ships.

Engine room simulator set

There are five different ship models in total, and it consists of:

  • the engine control room (ECR) and the engine room, the different levels of which are implemented by computers
  • 12 independent workstations
