5 THE COMPANY THE TRAINING CENTRE Swire Pacific Offshore Operations (Pte) Ltd., ( is a Singapore registered company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Swire Pacific Limited, a publicly listed company trading in Hong Kong ( The Swire Group has been synonymous with ship owning and operating for almost 200 years with a strong commitment to the service industries. Swire Pacific Offshore (SPO) is a trusted name in the offshore marine industry. Established in 1975, we have built a reputation as a leading service provider to the offshore oil and gas industry, with a network that spans the globe. The Swire Group is respected for its operational excellence, and commitment to integrity and professionalism. Swire Pacific Offshore works to train and develop its sea staff from junior ranks through to senior officers, with emphasis on promotion from within. Ongoing investment in knowledge and skills is therefore a priority focus. Swire Marine Training Centre (SMTC) was established in January 2007, and commenced operations in June the same year. The vision was to create a centralised training facility in Singapore, incorporating a world class special purpose simulation centre specifically designed for training in offshore activities. The training centre is the focal point for the development of all employees within the Company, both onshore and offshore. The aim of the centre is to promote best practice and to develop understanding of the offshore environment. All the training instructors are senior seastaff with extensive offshore operational experience and knowledge. Officers attend the centre at least every three to four years, and this provides the Company with an excellent forum for the sharing of corporate values and the opportunity to communicate the vision of who we are, what we stand for, and where we are strategically headed. 3

6 SIMULATION FACILITIES BRIDGE ONE SMTC s ship simulation system was developed exclusively for SPO and includes sophisticated animation covering deck activities, crane interaction, floating hoses and the ability to observe the mooring systems underwater. Modelling includes ten classes of vessel within the SPO fleet, one materials barge, one semi submersible drilling rig and one pipe-lay barge. Both rigs have interactive mooring systems, crane operation and working towing bridles. Bridge One is a purpose-built OSV bridge fitted with full size consoles and equipment common throughout the Swire fleet. The simulator conforms to IMCA category A guidelines for DP training, and is fitted with a Rolls Royce Towcon RT winch system for anchor handling training. The system also has liquid and bulk handling functionality. Stability is calculated in real time and vessel motion accurately reflects the actual loading condition of the vessel. The facility houses two hardware specific bridges, a full sized engine control room, a virtual engine room space, eight desktop engine room simulators and ten desktop bridge simulators, fitted with real propulsion controls. Training sessions are arranged in a flexible manner that allow for standalone or combined exercises, and optional connection to an integrated live engine room. The training philosophy is to create a full mission environment wherever possible and to train both deck officers and engineers at the same time in the most realistic manner possible. 4

7 BRIDGE TWO DESKTOP SIMULATION Desktop simulation is a great way to learn the basic concepts of handling an OSV in a variety of situations. The simulators are equipped with drop-in propulsion controls, which offer realistic training in both azimuth and conventional systems. Anchor handling training for deck officers new to the offshore industry begins with a 5-day familiarisation course which combines classroom theory and hands-on training. Bridge Two is a purpose-built OSV bridge similar in layout to Bridge One but consists of the aft working bridge only. The simulator conforms to IMCA category A guidelines for DP training, and is fitted with a Rolls Royce Towcon RT winch system for anchor handling training. The system also benefits from liquid and bulk handling functionality. Vessel stability is calculated in real time and vessel motion accurately reflects the actual loading condition of the vessel. Each student operates an individual simulator and can work at their own pace, hence maximising the hands on time necessary to hone hand-eye co-ordination skills. SMTC also conducts a basic offshore support vessel course focusing on best practice with an emphasis on manually manoeuvring vessels alongside an installation using both azimuth and conventional propulsion. Future development includes seismic support operations including alongside approach and departure and in-line re-fuelling. This course is currently offered as a desktop simulator course, and will be migrated to the main simulators as a more advanced course once fully developed. 5

8 DYNAMIC POSITIONING DP REFRESHER TRAINING SMTC conducts DP training courses accredited by the Nautical Institute (NI), and is one of the few training centres using full mission simulation for this type of training. SPO centrally administers the training scheme, including applications for certification. Refresher training is conducted for officers who have completed the NI training scheme, commencing 3 to 4 years after qualifying and repeated every four years therafter. The course is designed to refresh a DPO s knowledge of DP, so that they are kept abreast of the latest legislation, rules, guidance and technical developments affecting DP operations. Emphasis is placed on their knowledge, understanding, and application of alarms and warnings, and the integration of these concepts in realistic simulator exercises. Recent DP incident reports are also reviewed and discussed. The centre operates three DP 2 systems, complete with a selection of Fanbeam and CyScan Laser heads, Sonardyne Ranger acoustic systems, two Rolls Royce desktop trainers and six Converteam desktop trainers. Additionally, classroom training software is provided for satellite, laser and acoustic position reference systems. DP AWARENESS COURSES SMTC delivers DP Awareness courses for clients upon request. These courses are ideally suited to personnel involved in DP operations and are offered on a commercial basis. Courses can be adjusted to suit individual client s requirements. 6

9 SWIRE PACIFIC OFFSHORE ENGINEERING SIMULATION SMTC can simulate three engine types and utilises a full size mock up control room that can connect live to either bridge, or be independently operated Engine control on vessel and in simulator Anchor handling and towing training can be integrated to include engineering operations, providing the most realistic scenarios possible and engendering bridge team management. Familiarisation training is carried out on eight desktop simulators, which can be individually controlled by the instructor. The system also features liquid cargo handling which is fed in real time to the main simulator, and affects the loaded condition and handling characteristics of the vessel. 7 Switchboard on vessel and in simulator

10 ELECTRICAL POWER & CONTROL SYSTEMS DP MAINTENANCE Electrical engineering courses are designed to increase the knowledge and confidence of our engineers and electricians in the safe operation, maintenance and fault finding procedures necessary for managing a vessel s electrical power and control systems. SMTC operates an MAN Alphatronic 2000 simulator, MAN SaCoS control system and a crankcase monitoring simulator for training in the operation, setup, and diagnostics of the MAN control systems fitted on many vessels in the fleet. DP Maintenance courses provide equipment specific, hands on training for engineers and electricians, utilising a range of equipment fitted throughout the fleet. The main simulator engine control room is also used for practical demonstration of electrical power configuration necessary for DP 2 operations and FMEA trials. These courses are practical and group sizes are small to allow maximum hands on training. Practical exercises in constructing control circuits are designed to improve students knowledge and understanding of electrical drawings. 8

11 SAFETY MANAGEMENT COMPETENCE ASSURANCE Safety Management training forms a cornerstone of the company s training strategy. Courses are delivered at three levels and encompass a broad spectrum of safety related topics including behavioural safety, incident investigation, risk analysis, dynamic stability of offshore vessels, oil spill response, job safety analysis, ship security and a live emergency response exercise involving participation of Head Office employees, with the added realism of using the main simulators. Oil spill response modules are accredited by the Nautical Institute. The Competence Assurance department ensures that officers attending SMTC have fulfilled prerequisite requirements, and attend training as necessary for their ongoing professional development. The SPO fleet comprises over eighty DP equipped vessels and the NI DP training scheme is centrally administered by the department, including the certificate applications of all our DP operators. Additionally, guest speakers from insurers and senior management are invited to give presentations throughout the course. ADVANCEMENT EVALUATION SMTC conducts an Advancement Evaluation programme for officers who are ready for promotion to Master or Chief Engineer. Officers are invited to attend a week of operational assessment. The simulators are used to assess boat handling skills, engineering good practice, knowledge of anchor handling, leadership potential, power of command and behaviour under stressful situations. Candidates also undergo a psychometric evaluation and the Marlins language test of written English for seafarers. 9

12 SUPPORT FACILITIES TRAINING FOR THE FUTURE SMTC also provides on-site services for course administration, documentation, transport, accounting and simulator IT support. The centre provides students with lunch and tea breaks. The mess hall can accommodate thirty and contains a dining room, with reading area and computer facilities for students to access the internet. Swire Pacific Offshore is open to new concepts and initiatives that will lead to an improvement in our operational performance, and to enhanced skills for our employees. SMTC is also responsive to ideas for additional training from our stakeholders. These include not just the Company, but clients and regulatory authorities, such as class and flag states. The architecture of the simulator facility makes it possible to provide clients with the tools necessary to model and verify procedures for major projects, such as installations or anchor handling operations, as well as the capability to conduct accident and incident investigation. The training team can tailor courses to focus on specific stakeholder requirements using the powerful capabilities of the systems and equipment in the centre, and their own experience at senior levels within the offshore industry. SMTC is keen to meet the needs of the wider maritime industry. Through effective and constructive collaboration, SMTC aims to reduce operational risks, achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness offshore, and to help individuals achieve their full potential as seafarers. Through structured training and rigorous learning in challenging and realistic scenarios using real equipment in real time we can reduce the risk of incidents, protect people, property and the environment. 10
