The largest and most sophisticated simulation centre in the UK opened in 2019 by Solent University's Warsash School of Maritime Science and Engineering, using Wärtsilä’s technologies.
The highlight took place in May 2019, when a new home for the cutting-edge maritime simulation technology was opened by Sir Michael Bibby Bt., DL, President of the UK Chamber of Shipping.
The maritime simulation centre situated on Solent University’s Southampton campus, is the largest in the UK, featuring the latest equipment and software from Wärtsilä, including eight full-mission bridge simulators, a crane operations simulator, engine-room and high-voltage simulator, and specialist ECDIS, LICOS, GMDSS, DP and VTS training spaces.
