Marine Institute – Centre for Marine Simulation (CMS)
Centre for Marine Simulation (CMS) is a research and training facility operated by the Marine Institute of Memorial University providing a comprehensive suite of marine simulation capabilities. It assists the maritime and offshore industries in mitigating the risk of accidents, in accelerating training and improving performance, and in testing new equipment designs. Particular areas of expertise include the modeling and simulation of harsh maritime environments; human performance in moving environments, small craft simulation, simulation of offshore oil and gas operations, and waterway risk analysis.
CMS operates the following specialized simulation facilities:
- Full Mission Ship’s Bridge Simulator
- Full Mission Offshore Support/Supply vessel Bridge Simulator
- Tug Bridge Simulator ( Conventional and Voith Schneider Drive)
- Cargo Operations Simulator ( Tanker operations)
- Ballast Control (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit)
- Dynamic Positioning Simulators
- Navigation and Blind Pilotage Simulator
- Propulsion Plant Simulator
- GMDSS Simulator
- Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Simulators
- Process Control Simulator
- Lifeboat Launch Simulator
- Web-based Navigation Instruments Simulator
