Vstep will install FMB and Tug simulators at all three Fidena Maritime Schools in Mexico.
The contract was won by Vstep and its Mexican partner Edutelsa through an official competitive tender procedure and enables Fidena to replace its old simulator technology with DNV certified Nautis simulators.
Fidena is the educational institution in charge of formal and comprehensive education of all seafarers in Mexico. It is the only institution in Mexico that offers higher level study programs in the maritime field. Its three nautical schools are located in Mazatlan, Tampico and Veracruz and its headquarters are in Mexico City.
Full Mission Bridge and Tug Simulators
Fidena purchased three Nautis DNV Class A Full Mission Bridge Simulators and three Tug Simulators for each of its nautical schools. The Full Mission Bridge simulators have a 270° horizontal field of view and are fully compliant with the Class A DNV Standards for Certification No. 2.14 for Maritime Simulator Systems and IMO model courses 1.22 and 1.32. They address all new elements from the newly revised IMO STCW Convention and allows realistic training of a wide variety of training courses.
The Tug Simulators are high performance desktop trainers with a 120-degrees horizontal outside field of view. The Vera Cruz, Altamira, Lazaro Cardenas and Manzanillo environments have been added to the simulators for training.
