virtual marine technology The maritime industry has long recognized the challenges of lifeboat training. Accidents occur far too frequently and the risks of lifeboat operation make it impossible to deliver high sea state, reduced visibility and equipment failure training. These factors restrict training frequency and limit a coxswain's preparedness to launch Lifeboat SIMULATION While the challenges of lifeboat training are not surprising to those in the industry, what is surprising is the lack of attention given to training alternatives. The maritime industry has recognized the benefits of simulation enhanced training for decades. VMT has introduced those benefits to lifeboat training through the introduction of its SurvivalQuest simulator. SurvivalQuest is the worlds only Det Norske Veritas (DNV) certified lifeboat simulator. The system can deliver single fall, twin fall and freefall launch training and is available in fixed and portable configurations. Each SurvivalQuest is equipped with real lifeboat controls and incorporates validated vessel performance characteristics to maximize the realism of the training experience. To ensure SurvivalQuest integrates seamlessly into lifeboat training programs, VMT's maritime subject matter experts have developed simulation enhanced courseware to address training objectives defined by STCW, O PITO, CAPP and DNV. Investing in SurvivalQuest enables organizations to accelerate and extend coxswain competency by delivering launch exercises with greater frequency and variety than is achievable using traditional launch training. SurvivalQuest also mitigates training and operational risk by allowing coxswains to experience difficult or dangerous launch conditions in a safe, simulated virtual marine technology 20 Hallett Cres., PO Box 8282, St. John's, NL CANADA, Al B 3N4
