Transas is proud to announce the successful execution of the tender for the supply of the Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator (LCHS) and Engine Room Simulator (ERS) for Malaysian Maritime Academy Sdn Bhd (ALAM), Melaka. The delivery project was sponsored by Petronas Maritime Services Sdn Bhd (PMSSB), a subsidiary of Pertonas.
The contract for the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of a Full Mission Ship-handling Simulator (FMSHS) at ALAM was awarded to Transas Marine Pacific. Configuration included DNV Class A full mission bridge with nine visual channels projected to the curved screen, consoles, mock-up and a full range of dedicated hardware to simulate a real ship’s bridge environment. A further three cubicle bridges each with three visual channels, and twelve CBT Navi-Trainer Professional 4000 ‘configuration A’ bridges were provided. Even though the time from order to delivery was short, Transas also provided customization of the simulator software and ship models much to the satisfaction of ALAM.
Following this project, Transas also won the tender to supply the LCHS and ERS for the Academy. Within the shortest possible contract period the building and infrastructure was prepared and the computer system was installed. At the moment the LCHS installation includes 10 trainee workstations of LCHS 2000 (Oil Tanker, Chemical Tanker, LPG), LCHS 4000 (Oil terminal and LNG spherical) and the ERS installation includes 10 trainee workstations of ERS 4000 (Container, Oil Tanker, Ro-Ro). The LCHS and ERS are installed in separate rooms but can be used for joint training. The systems include state-of-the-art Engine Room and Liquid Cargo Handling simulators incorporating a wide range of training tasks, with a typical engine room layout and a classroom for Engine Room and Liquid Cargo Handling training. The Instructor control and monitoring stations feature the latest software for exercise development, conduct, debrief and analysis.
The project requires customization of models such as Kawasaki Steam Turbine, Wartsila Sulzer marine diesel engine, LNG Membrane and VLCC meaning that the project will be completed in phases. The first phase i.e. standard PC based application for ERS and LCHS was completed. Other phases for customization of the models mentioned are scheduled for completion in stages by March 2006 and December 2006.
ALAM has always had close links to the Petronas Corporation who as a modern, forward-thinking company, exemplify the new wave of shipbuilders who place education and development at the very core of their organizations. Graduates of ALAM can progress from the lower-level position of Cadet Officer or Rating to the highest level position of Master Mariner or Chief Engineer. Having access to the full range of advanced simulator equipment from Transas in their training, graduates are assured a very bright future in a whole host of maritime related fields.
