Overview

---

The Simulation Centre has the responsibility for the operation of AMC's simulation facilities, which are the Integrated Marine Simulator (IMS) and Machinery Space Simulators.

These simulators are situated in the Simulation / Information Services Building, located at the Newnham campus in Launceston.

Integrated Marine Simulator

The Integrated Marine Simulator (IMS) comprises:

• Shiphandling Simulator with full-scale ship's bridge and 202.5° visuals
• Ship Operations Simulator with six 'own-ship' cubicles each with 120° visuals.

It is one of the most advanced simulators of its type in the world which is continually being upgraded and is invaluable for research and investigation into port development, ship manoeuvring and improving ship and port safety and efficiency. It is also a very effective aid for training and competency assessment of shipmasters and deck officers.
