SCI’s Center for Maritime Education (CME) has created a new simulator model for AET, tailored for their Offshore and Global Lightering Division. This model aims to facilitate training for mariners who operate the Lightering Support Vessels (LSV) in collaboration with Ship-to-Ship Mooring Masters during the deployment and retrieval of Yokohama fenders.

To build this simulator model, assistance was provided by Kongsberg Digital in Groton, CT, and the STAR Center in Dania Beach, FL. The model facilitates the placement of actual Yokohama fenders on the aft deck of the LSV. It also enables the loading and unloading of jumbo Yokohama fenders alongside the service ship and the vessel undergoing lightering operations.

This model aims to assist AET with enhanced training and development of its vessel crews, enabling them to practice emergency and non-standard maneuvers in the safety of a controlled virtual environment. The model will also AET to evaluate external providers in different lightering areas.

The Center for Maritime Education is thrilled to deliver this customized model design to their longstanding client, AET. CME believes it will significantly enrich the training experience for AET’s crews throughout their global operations.
