MEP simulators provide comprehensive training for seafarers, including ship handling and maneuvering, the use of electronic navigation equipment such as radar, ECDIS, and AIS, as well as maritime communication via GMDSS and specialized nautical radio systems.
Simulators also enable search and rescue operations, bridge team management and teamwork, as well as operation and control of ship propulsion systems, including fault detection and propulsion optimization.
