Transas simulators have been installed in two Indonesian maritime education institutes; Merchant Marine School BP2IP Surabaya, and Rating School, Sorong, Papua. Both institutions are part of the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation’s Education Training Agency.
The configuration of the simulator in BP2IP Surabaya is a Full Mission Ship Handling Simulator with visualisation incorporating seven circular channels, integrated with GMDSS and 15 Trainee workstations. In the Rating School Sorong, a Full Mission Ship Handling Simulator with five circular channel visualisation is integrated with an Engine Room Simulator. Each are turnkey project solutions, said Aloys Sutarto, the Managing Director of PT MultiIntegra (Transas Group distributor in Indonesia), thus including in the contract the design, supply, installation, commissioning and training.
These projects maximise local knowledge, particularly regarding installation, civil work and the development of new Indonesian exercise areas. “The combined ability of Transas and PT MultiIntegra to add local value is a main reason why we were awarded the contracts”, said Mr. Sutarto.
Mr. Dedi Darmawan, Head of the Education Training Agency, commented: “This is not the first time that the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation’s Education Training Agency (ETA) has installed a navigation simulator in their institution to fulfil STCW’95. Various simulator products have been installed for some years, and although we have always been aware of the great reputation of Transas this is the first installation from the company.
By harnessing the Transas technology and services, we have experienced a good transfer of knowledge during installation and training. The most modern simulation technology ever installed in ETA has achieved more than we ever expected”.
