Contact Facility Operator(s): Centre for Marine Simulation (CMS)

Facility Location: Ridge Road campus, St. John's

The Full Mission Ship's Bridge 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.

The Full Mission Bridge Simulator is integrated with the Offshore Operations simulator, the Heritage Bridge Simulator and the Full Mission Propulsion Plant Simulator for combined personnel and operations exercises.

In addition to navigation and ship maneuvering training this simulator is also extensively used in our industrial and applied research projects.

Features of this simulator include:

• Simulation software - Kongsberg KSIM version 2.7
• Motion platform - CAE 6 DOF platform
• Visual system - Panasonic 12,000 Lumen 4 K Laser Projection System, 10 metre radius screen, 360 degree horizontal and 40 degree field of vision
• Configurable navigation systems including multiple helm/propulsion control applications
• Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) charting system
• In-house hydrodynamic and geographical database modelling capabilities
• Fully integrated with Kongsberg KPOS dynamic positioning system version 8
• Custom interface for independent control of motion platform
• Kongsberg Hydrodynamic Modelling Tool (HDMT) system
• Full data capture, including video, sound and histo-graphic display of helm and engine orders
• Capable of hosting 3rd party software such s a Portable Pilot Units (PPU)
