Marine simulator BMT REMBRANDT gets additional certification
BMT Ship & Coastal Dynamics, a subsidiary of BMT Group, has announced that its marine navigation and manoeuvring simulator, REMBRANDT has been certified by BAW (Bundesanstalt für Wasserbau), on behalf of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration, Wasser und Schifffahrtsverwaltung des Bundes (WSV) in Germany.
The BAW Certification process rigorously tests the hydrodynamic accuracy of the simulator against known ship behaviours, ensuring that the manoeuvring characteristics trainees experience on land faithfully represent the real world challenges they will face on water.
Due to a new requirement applicable to inland waterways in Germany, all simulation software and hardware which is used for training purposes for Sea Pilots and Kiel Canal Helmsmen has to be approved and certified.
