Transas Middle East has successfully accomplished the project to supply a training suite including navigational, engine room and GMDSS simulators to Dar Es Salaam Maritime Institute (DMI) in Tanzania.
Under the contract, Transas has upgraded the Dar Es Salaam’s navigational simulator to the newest generation Transas Full Mission Ship Simulator NTPRO 5000 with 270 degree horizontal field of view and rear visualisation channel.
New generation navigational simulator boasts visualization system offering the highest level of realism featuring wind-generated sea state and variable swell model with user selected sea state spectrum, accurate vessel and wave interaction, full scene and environment reflection, and three dimensional bow waves and propeller wash and associated floating object interference. New grounding, synchronous rolling, broaching and other modeling features provide unsurpassed quality of training. Integrated VHF and Intercom solutions, voice communication are available for debrief and assessment. Particular attention was paid to radar. Transas now has reached another level in accurate and realistic radar picture presentation. This has been achieved by years of experience and strong industry feedback.
The project also included supply, installation and commissioning of a Full Mission Engine Room Simulator, Steam boiler and Gas Turbine simulators and a PC based Multifunctional Classroom Simulator for 12 Trainees to acquire knowledge and experience in ECDIS and GMDSS operations. Resource management and team training can be provided by integrating Full Mission Shiphandling Simulator and Full Mission ERS.
Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) has chosen Transas after an international Tender which re-affirms Transas as leading simulator manufacturer and reliable partner for professional Maritime Training Establishments.
Dar Es Salaam Maritime Institute has over 2000 students and is the leading Maritime Training Institution in Tanzania as well as amongst East Africa Nations. The DMI was established by Tanzanian Government on 3rd July 1978. This was at a time when the STCW78 Convention was promulgated an International legal instrument requiring formal training for seafarers which Tanzania aimed to comply with. Since then the DMI mission is to develop marine expertise and produce competently trained and qualified marine personnel within the Eastern African Region and the world at large.
