HELLENIC NAVY SIGNS FOR THREE NEW NAUTIS SIMULATORS

This new delivery will include three NAUTIS console simulators ready for training with different types of vessels, environments and naval related objects. Each simulator has a display on three screens, thus creating an immersive 120° degrees outside view. For the installation, the Hellenic Navy training centre will equip the new NAUTIS software on their current hardware configuration. This solution will allow them to use a new, state-of-the-art simulator with minimum hardware investment. Moreover, to ensure that training needs are fulfilled, 15 custom vessels will be built and added to the software in the coming three years. This will enable mariners to fully train their naval operational, ship handling and navigation skills on familiar vessels.

The Hellenic Navy is the main naval force protecting Greek waters. It is part of the Hellenic Armed Forces and has its operations in a strategically important area of the South-East Mediterranean Sea. The goals of the navy are to protect border integrity, commercial sea-lines and to cultivate security to all Greek islands. Navy ships constantly carry out patrolling missions to deal with any possible external threats and to support Hellenic Coast Guard. NAUTIS simulators are the perfect solution to satisfying stringent training measures and guaranteeing safety in Greek waters.

   “We are proud that our product has once again proven to be a stable and reliable tool to train the skills of mariners across the world. The Hellenic Navy is a strong addition to our ever-expanding client base in the region. We look forward to delivering the simulator and contributing to the high level of preparedness of seafarers. Our simulators are tailored to satisfying the high training requirements set out by navies and coastguards. The Hellenic Navy will definitely benefit from the value of the Naval simulator,” says Ties Klapwijk, NAUTIS Sales Manager at VSTEP.

Traditional Navy trainings are costly, time consuming and complex. Training sessions can place pressure and risk on both crew and training instructors. In line with traditional training methods, simulator training is becoming a pivotal resource in the modern and changing maritime landscape. Maritime simulators provide the opportunity to re-create a wide range of real-life scenarios unique to naval environments that help the sailors train in a risk-free environment.

VSTEP makes sure that you are prepared for real-life situations with our leading solutions for simulation and virtual training. Our state-of-the-art products allow you to train your skills for every scenario possible in a practical, cost effective and sustainable way.
