Mercmarine goes for modern engine room simulator

Mercmarine Training will embark on its latest venture by bringing state-of-the-art maritime training facilities to Sri Lanka.

The institute will launch a marine engine room simulator, which is the latest version of 'Transas', model 5000 Techsim, an advanced engine room simulator.

Mercmarine Training has set up its own Marine Engineering training department and will introduce the full scope of training programs, i.e. from Cadets to Marine Chief Engineers. It has invested in human resources, teaching aids, infrastructure and upgrading workshops to offer the best training facilities at all levels.

All programs that Mercmarine Training offer will be as per the guidelines set by the Office of Director General of Merchant Shipping Sri Lanka and will be above the minimum standards set by the International Maritime Organisation on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping.

The assistance and advice they received from the Office of Director General of Merchant Shipping from planning to implementation had been a major factor that contributed to the success of the project so far.

Mercmarine Training's prize possession is the full mission engine room simulator that has been installed in its City Campus in Colombo 10.

After a careful study of the many simulator solutions, they decided to procure the Transas Techsim ERS 5000. Transas is a global leader in marine simulation solutions.
