Lifeboat Simulator (Desktop, Full Mission Free-Fall, Full Mission Twin-Fall)

Virtual Marine’s lifeboat simulators are globally certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and are recognized by the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) STCW and MODU Codes. Customized to actual lifeboats, the simulators range from part-task to full mission with motion platforms, and covers simulated davit launch and freefall/skid lifeboats. The systems offer training management, with curriculum scenarios covering time of day, sea states, varied weather, and emergencies; and the simulators can be either autonomous or instructor-based. A desktop version (Virtual Reality compatible) is now available, and is ideal for repetitive learning and skill development.

Simulated scenarios expose mariners to a variety of training outcomes, which enable them to improve their specific boat skills in a controlled environment, including: preparation, launching, releasing and boat handling skills. Practice scenarios provide a means to practice and demonstrate launching and recovering tasks, which meet or exceed the training requirements for lifeboat drills.
