Glasgow-based training services firm Onboard Maritime has launched a new Virtual Training Ship and online game, available through the Steam PC gaming platform.
The game offers a virtual experience of life at sea, providing users with a unique opportunity to take part in maritime operations in a safe and controlled environment.
The company says that the Virtual Training Ship can be used as a training tool rather than being purely for entertainment, incorporating interactive shipboard systems, navigational challenges, and emergency scenarios to allow users to develop and hone their skills in a variety of roles.
“Onboard Maritime is committed to pushing the boundaries of maritime training,” said Angus Ferguson, Technical Director of Onboard Maritime.
“Our Virtual Training Ship represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide accessible, affordable, high-quality training that prepares maritime professionals globally for the complexities of their roles at sea.”
The software can also allow organisations to create customised scenarios that allow seafarers to navigate through changing weather conditions, manage onboard systems, and respond to emergencies to provide a new option for traditional bridge and engine resource training.
The game is available on the Steam store here.
