AVTEC’s Alaska Maritime Training Center (AMTC) is host to one of the largest and most robust maritime training simulator suites in the United States. The simulator facility features three Kongsberg™ Class A Det Norsky Veritas (DNV-GL) Certified full-mission bridges, and is a vital component of many of AMTC’s maritime courses. The simulator meets all of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements for approved United States Coast Guard (USCG) certified training, including a 300 degree field of view. AVTEC’s simulator training suite is an assessment tool used in nearly all of its navigation/ship handling course from entry level mariners to master pilots. Not only is the simulator is used for regularly scheduled training, it is also utilized for custom vessel and/or company specific training and maritime related research projects. All three of our ship bridges can be integrated to work together interactively in the same virtual area, or in completely independent exercises. The simulator bridges apply a 290 to 300 degree field of view to ensure a high level of immersion and offer ample space for bridge teams to work effectively.
