1 Transas ASD TUG SIMULATOR

2 TRANSAS ASD TUG SIMULATOR Transas, in conjunction with Seaways Ltd, have developed the advanced ASD tug simulator capable of training a range of functions. From basic tug handling manoeuvres for trainees to advanced towing methods for tug masters (such as in-direct towing), any operation can be simulated. Training Goals Transas ASD tug simulator has been designed by tug masters and for tug masters to provide high fidelity and cost-effective training in complex and risky operations. The simulator is the perfect tool for training in: ship assist work high speed escort work, and integrated tug master and pilot training. Project innovations 3D For better immersion in the training, Transas has made its tug simulator 3D so that trainees can accurately judge distances on a 2D screen. This covers depth perception, one of the key training requirements of tug masters when operating in close proximity to large vessels under tow. 3

3 TRANSAS ASD TUG SIMULATOR Hydrodynamic model: as real as it gets 16 pages of manoeuvring notes, hours of real time video and 200 man/weeks of hard work A key advantage of this tug simulator is the improved built-in hydrodynamic modelling and interaction capabilities of the tug with its tow. Transas software developers collaborated closely with tug masters to replicate the exact characteristics felt during tug manoeuvres. This advanced capability allows the operator to acquire the necessary skills before going live on a real tug, without risk of damage. Configurations Desktop solution To familiarise and practise basic operations, a simplified desktop configuration can be used. Full mission simulator In tug simulation, the requirements for visualisation and hardware are higher than those of conventional ship operations. Thus, additional features such as vertical angle of view, rear view visualisation and dedicated hardware should be considered for a tug full mission bridge. Joint training As the simulator is built on the Transas NTPRO simulator platform, the instructor can operate multiple tug training stations in one scenario. This flexibility provides the simulator with more advanced training capabilities where multiple tug operations can be conducted for large vessels or even rig moves with a rig master co-ordinating. The addition of a Full Mission Bridge simulator to these training scenarios allows the bridge team on the vessel being towed to take part. This simulation configuration then can be used for advanced pilot training, whereby a pilot can be trained in tug placement, control, communications and operations.

4 TRANSAS ASD TUG SIMULATOR After ten months of searching [for a simulator manufacturer], we were always drawn back to Transas due to their futuristic approach of what could be achievable. They have done an excellent job in achieving this and it is a credit to them. One of our main criteria was as our tug masters found the 2D perspective when working very close was hard to judge distances. Transas reply was let s go 3D on high definition LED screens. This is what a customer wants to hear as an answer to a problem and then see it acted on. We have now got what we feel the worlds very best Tug Simulator. It has been an absolute pleasure working with such a forward thinking team as Transas. Stephen Sandy National Training Manager Having recently completed the Train the Trainer course for the SeaWays accredited SERCO training masters on the new TugSim at the Transas simulation facility in Portsmouth, I can creditably state it is the first time we are now able to undertake to our high standards all 90 training exercises that make up our entire training programs on a simulator. Capt. Arie Nygh Managing Director MNI FITA 6 Hardware In addition to the advanced hydrodynamics model, the simulator can be equipped with real tug controls to enhance the training environment further. For the simulator at Portsmouth, Transas integrated a DAMEN tug console. ASD tugs are one of the most popular tugs in the world, and the addition of the exact bridge console used in these vessels truly enhances the simulator s training capabilities. Operator can move effortlessly from training simulator to real tug without any familiarisation period required.
