Due to the increased popularity of the Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tug, Transas is pleased to announce the addition of this model to its ERS 5000 engine room simulator suite. The specialised training necessary for the complex systems inherent with these systems can be provided to operators and managers alike, including familiarisation, operation and advanced emergency action.

The simulator is intended for all types of training: individual, group and team training / assessment. The extremely flexible ERS 5000 configuration includes an Instructor station operating up to 12 Trainee stations or ‘Solo’ for individual training. The ERS 5000 ‘Solo’ option is ideal for distance learning or self study.

Transas engine room simulators meet the requirements of the STCW’2010 Convention and Code. The simulator’s scope of training objectives corresponds to the specifications of standard competence for engine department personnel as per Chapter III of STCW’2010, IMO Model Courses 2.07, 2.08, 7.02, 7.04. It facilitates marine engineering training at the operational, management and support levels. Industrial hardware controls can be connected via flexible interfaces in accordance with the requirements of DNV class A standard.

Transas maintains a vision of full integration within its simulator line. To adapt to the current practice of using multiple NTPRO navigational simulator bridges for ship/towing operations, and to provide for full vessel-wide resource management training, integration of the ERS 5000 ASD engine room simulator to the NTPRO 5000 navigational simulator has been incorporated. The major systems onboard a towing vessel (navigation systems, helm and engine room control systems) have been accurately modelled, enabling a comprehensive range of tug operations and exercises.
