Our simulators
Both in the Netherlands and abroad, the STC-Group is the leading information and training centre in the field of shipping, ports and port-related oil and chemical industry. This compels us to supervise the quality of our services critically and to always keep an eye out for possible innovations.
This approach is reflected in our extensive simulator complex, which is unique in terms of size and set-up. It is used to familiarise people in training with the entire transport chain from door to door. Simulators are an unsurpassed resource for acquiring skills and enhancing competence. In addition, they are essential to research programs aimed at improving ‘knowledge and understanding in a great number of technical and operational areas’. Because the STC-Group wishes to maintain its technological lead, we invest millions of euros in these advanced tools each year.
The simulator complex consists of:
• all-maritime simulators:
- fourteen bridges
- three engine room simulators
- vessel traffic service simulator
• cargo handling simulators
• dredging simulator
• crane and straddle carrier simulators (total six)
• five bridges for inland barges
• chemical plant simulator
• power plant simulator
• and the unique Transport Chain Simulator®.
