KMSS Ship Simulation has supplied a full-mission and two part-mission bridge simulators, based on an ANZAC-class frigate, to the Royal New Zealand Navy?s new training facility. The full-mission simulator offers a field of view of 240 deg., nine visual channels and one binocular channel. Both the full- and part-mission simulators are capable of supporting training for a single ship or as part of a combined exercise with other ships, says KMSS. The simulators are being used to train bridge team officers and enlisted crew members in navigation, ship handling, communications and bridge management from basic through to advanced level. They are able to simulate the handling and control characteristics of Royal New Zealand Navy vessels as well as a range of merchant vessels, says KMSS.

LNG is currently the most popular lower carbon fuel, but with bio and e-LNG it could move beyond its current transition fuel status supported by extensive existing infrastructure.
