For the First Time in Russia - Training on the Dynamic Position Fixing Simulator
For the first time in the Russian Federation the Dynamic Position Fixing Simulator was put into operation at the Makarov Training Centre. Up to now the training of the dynamic position fixing system operators was performed only by foreign educational institutions. That's why Russian seafarers and drilling platforms crewmembers were forced to look for the opportunities of studying aboard to receive the appropriate certificates. Now such training is available at the AMSMA Makarov Training Centre.
Urgency of introducing Dynamic Position Fixing Simulators is determined, first, by the intensive exploring of oil-fields and gas deposits on the shelf. These operations are connected with running drilling platforms, supplying vessels, pipe-laying ships and also other vessels, requiring position fixing of high accuracy. The specificity of the dynamic position fixing systems operation requires the specialized simulator training, which enables imitating different types of the vessels, sailing areas, working conditions. This is the simulator installed at the Makarov Training Centre.
