AFS Advanced firefighting simulator

Product catalog summary

Purpose: The AFS Advanced Firefighting Simulator is designed for training officers in advanced firefighting operations aboard ships, in compliance with Section A-VI/3 of the STCW Code. It focuses on controlling firefighting operations and organizing fire parties.

Knowledge and Skills: The simulator helps develop skills in organizing and controlling firefighting operations, strategizing fire control in various ship areas, coordinating communication during firefighting, managing ventilation, fuel, and electrical systems, and using fire detection and extinguishing equipment.

3D Virtual Environment: The simulator features a detailed 3D model of a crude oil tanker, including fire detection and extinguishing systems, fire alarm systems, ship communication equipment, and active elements like watertight doors and smoke dampers.

Documentation: Trainees have access to ship documentation such as fire and contingency plans.

Target Groups: The simulator is suitable for deck and engine personnel at management, operational, and support levels across all ship types.

Operational Scheme: Training occurs in a 3D virtual environment where instructors introduce scenarios based on emergency plans. Students perform firefighting duties as per their roles, with scenarios evolving based on their actions. The instructor monitors and records actions for debriefing.

Minimal Configuration: Recommended setup includes one instructor workplace and four student workplaces, with roles such as wheelhouse, MSB room, fire party commander, and fire party members. Additional workplaces can be added upon request.

Hardware: Optional hardware includes navigation bridge controls, central control room equipment, and VR devices for practical firefighting skills.

Firefighting Training Center: The simulator can be integrated into a firefighting training ground, with options for e-learning modules and knowledge assessment software.

AFS ADVANCED FIREFIGHTING SIMULATOR Operational scheme Practical skills training is performed in 3D virtual environment. The Instructor enters contingencies and hazards, connected with fire progress on the ship, into 3D virtual environment according to a previously prepared scenario of emergency. Students, in a team (emergency party), carry out their responsibilities for firefighting depending on duties designated by the Instructor and in accordance with the Emergency Muster List and firefighting plans. Scenario of progress of an emergency situation depends on how correct student’s actions are....
