Sailing on an actual vessel is the best learning experience, but simulating a maritime environment is a process of combining virtual reality with behavioural training to establish situational awareness and task understanding. If the trainee is standing on a bridge, he will start learning to make decisions based on what he sees and hears around him, particularly through the bridge window, and not relying entirely on instrumentation.rnDifferent aspects of handling a vessel-bridge, engine room, anchor-handling, offshore and dynamic positioning, liquid cargo-handling-can have their own simulator rooms and the best training groups have the facilities to make them function in unison.
