Overview
Background & policy context:
Currently there is no harmonised approach on a European scale for maritime training. Simulator-based education of ship crews with respect to standardised ship manoeuvres and operational scenarios is often significantly different between EU Member States, in particular because various types of simulators, different training tools, scenarios and curricula are used.
Objectives:
MASSTER aimed to describe the types of integrated, full-mission manoeuvring simulators and part-task simulators available in Europe for training/education purposes, including their technical capabilities.
The main objectives of MASSTER have been:
- to investigate the feasibility of implementing new emerging technologies in the area of simulation for training purposes;
- to categorise a complete catalogue of required tasks;
- to summarise the training scenarios for the different types of simulators used by maritime facilities for training purposes;
- to determine gaps and shortcomings based on the comparison of existing scenarios and their training objectives with the developed catalogue of tasks;
- to provide methodologies for the development of scenarios and assessment tools relevant to different training objectives; and
- to provide a final catalogue of results, exercises and training objectives.
