Developed to train the next generation of seafarers, Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 is a state-of-the-art simulation solution that delivers unmatched realism, future-proof capabilities, and advanced digital navigation tools. You will appreciate Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 because it offers:
Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 is Wärtsilä’s next‑generation bridge and ship handling simulator, running on Unreal Engine 5 and created for S‑100‑ready digital navigation training.
Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 is designed to help maritime training centres deliver more immersive, more effective, and more future‑ready learning experiences. It combines hyper‑realistic visualisation with advanced bridge tools and next‑standard navigation systems to support the competence development of tomorrow’s seafarers.
Built on decades of simulation expertise and powered by Unreal Engine 5, Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 brings ship handling scenarios to life with a level of realism that strengthens decision‑making, situational awareness, and learner engagement from the first session.
When training feels authentic, learners stay engaged. Wärtsilä NTPRO 7’s ultra‑realistic visualisation and sound module helps trainees' step into scenarios that look and behave like real operations, building confidence and better decision‑making from the very beginning.
Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 delivers highly immersive and realistic scenarios to allow trainees to better prepare for real-world situations. Real-time responsiveness and high FPS ensure smooth scenario transition and uninterrupted training flow.
The new sound system delivers elevated realism and immersion - from thunder and rain to wind and waves, the new environmental sounds ensure a more consistent learning experience. Engine and mechanical sounds now reflect real-world acoustics, enhancing situational awareness and training experience.
Wärtsilä Navi-Sailor ECDIS, fully integrated into the simulation, offers a clear path towards compliance with upcoming regulations and provides a type-approved solution ideally suited for training applications.
Features such as Wind‑Assisted Propulsion simulation module prepares cadets for the operational realities of new wind-powered ships, equipping them with the practical skills needed to drive a greener future for shipping.
Faster skill development
Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 helps trainees build core operational habits earlier. Intuitive interfaces and advanced operational tools like Virtual Watchkeeper and Virtual Binoculars* support clear command training effective lookout and visual bearings practices, and stronger situational awareness helping to accelerate competence without adding instructor workload.
A suite of modern bridge tools, including a next‑generation conning and overhead displays mirror real shipboard displays, providing watchkeepers with consolidated information necessary for safe and efficient ship handling. Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 introduces simulation of a broader range of fault scenarios, allowing training centers to deliver more realistic and immersive experiences that better prepare seafarers for unexpected situations.
To ensure realism, usability, and training credibility, Wärtsilä NTPRO 7 has been shaped and tested with global pilot partners, including:
