SITUMET



distant simulation and tutorial systems on board –
new approaches to ensure work process
oriented maritime education and training






The IMO requires special courses for deck officers and masters on tankers. The maritime department of the university will offer these courses on an e-learning-platform. In this way the participants are able to study the courses on board and the gap between theory and practical experience can be closed easier than in studies ashore.
In cooperation with international partners (universities, shipping-companies and a manufacturer of simulators) the maritime department is supported by the Leonardo-project to extend these courses to web-based simulator-courses for handling of liquid cargoes in bulk.
These studies will be completed by an evaluation of the results of education and training on board.
