Wärtsilä Voyage’s Cloud Simulation Solution is now available on maritime knowledge provider Ocean Technologies Group’s (OTG) Ocean Learning Platform. This includes instructor-led interactive simulation training, automated assessment solutions, and a growing library of self-directed simulation exercises for a range of Deck and Engineering learning pathways. It is immediately available to a combined customer pool of over 3,000 shipping companies and training centres, plus over a million seafarers, making training, assessment, and certification possible any time, and from anywhere in the world.
Wärtsilä Voyage simulation users will gain access to the Ocean Learning Platforms online user experience and a range of tools to plan, deliver, and report on seafarer training. These include virtual classrooms for remote collaboration in mission brief and debrief, rapid e-learning allowing users to quickly create, publish and distribute e-learning content from within the Ocean Learning Platform (OLP), and the broad library of maritime training content found in the Ocean Learning Library.
The two companies had announced their strategic partnership earlier this year in February to share their expertise and resources and provide all maritime learning stakeholders – shipping companies, maritime training providers, manning agencies and seafarers – with an end-to-end learning platform by bringing all stakeholders together in one ecosystem that enables collaboration and growth.
As the industry rapidly moves towards digitalisation and decarbonisation, the platform also aims to support mariners to upgrade their competence in a commercially viable way. Smart solutions and green technology will flat if mariners are not trained properly to handle the new systems and processes. And providing high-quality training and assessment using only traditional techniques will pose a significant commercial challenge.
“This is just the beginning of a very exciting and potentially game-changing collaboration that can help to support developing more competent, efficient, safer, and environmentally aware mariners able to succeed in our rapidly changing, digitised maritime industry,” said Neil Bennett, Business Development Director, Global Simulation, Wärtsilä Voyage.
