Traditional maritime training is costly and complex

Training seafarers is expensive, logistically demanding and energy-intensive. Traditional methods rely on computer-based training (CBT) onboard, extensive infrastructure for simulation centre facilities and a vast carbon footprint from crew flights, driving up costs and environmental impact. Real-world exercises are risky and limited in their ability to replicate complex scenarios, such as extreme weather or emergencies. The industry needs smarter, safer and more efficient training solutions.

Combine the best from physical and virtual maritime training with green screen technology

The SimFlex XR Full Mission Bridge simulator transforms maritime training with green screen technology. This innovative approach integrates physical bridge equipment, such as ECDIS and radars, into immersive virtual environments using Varjo Extended Reality(XR) headsets. Trainees work with real-world tools while navigating dynamic, high-fidelity simulations, creating a highly realistic and precise training experience.

 
This project underscores our steadfast dedication to driving innovation and excellence in maritime training, with a strong focus on safe and sustainable operations.

By embracing cutting-edge XR technology, we are empowering our seafarers to meet the dynamic challenges of the maritime industry while reinforcing Greece's position as a leader on the global maritime stage. Panagiotis Drosos / Chief Operations Officer of Capital Ship Management Corp
