The ballast control simulator was commissioned in 1994. This simulator is used to replicate operations conducted in the ballast control room of an oil rig. The simulator is mounted on a two degree of freedom motion base and is supplemented by desktop trainers. Float-on/float-off vessels can also be simulated.
The Centre for Marine Simulation (CMS) houses three different dynamic positioning simulators with custom built visualization systems designed by CMS. Kongsberg's SDP system was commissioned in 1997, expanded in 1998, and upgraded in 2009, while its KPOS system was installed and commissioned in 2010. These simulators are used to replicate precision manoeuvring systems that are found on vessels operating in the offshore, scientific, cable-laying and cruise industries.
Commissioned in 2011, this navigation information system can be used as an alternative to paper charts. An electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) displays the information from system electronic navigational charts (SENC) with positional information from navigation sensors to assist the mariner in route planning and route monitoring.
Originally commissioned in 1994 and upgraded in 2020, this simulator is used to replicate operations conducted on a ship's navigation bridge in any sea state and conditions.
Commissioned in 1994 and upgraded in 2012, the global maritime distress and safety system simulator is used to replicate emergency radio operations conducted on the bridge of a ship. The simulator is desktop based and is supplemented by a live instruments lab.
Commissioned in 2019, the Heritage Class Ship's Bridge simulator is used to replicate operations of an offshore shuttle tanker.
The Offshore Operations Simulator is mounted on a six degree of freedom (DOF) aviation motion base and is one of two full-motion ship's bridges in CMS.
Commissioned in 1994, upgraded in 2010, and extensively upgraded in 2022, the propulsion plant simulator is used to replicate the operations in the control room of a ship's engine-room. The simulator has a surround sound system and is supplemented by desktop trainers.
Commissioned in 2006, the remotely operated vehicle simulator is used to replicate the operations of offshore and military workclass vehicles. The control consoles are mounted in cubicles which approximate conditions on board the vessel.
The navigation instruments laboratory has been designed for a maximum of eight students and enables them to become familiar with the set up and operation of the various bridge gear as required by Transport Canada Simulated Electronic Navigation (SEN) 1A.
Commissioned in 1994 and upgraded in 2025, this navigation simulator is used to replicate navigation operations on the bridge of a ship and consists of four part-task Class bridges, each fitted with realistic equipment and a visualization system.
