After a thorough review process, the German Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (GDWS), under the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, has officially approved the Morild Ship & Bridge simulator system for pilot training, in accordance with the German Pilot Training Decree (SeeLAuFV).
In Germany, simulator systems must be approved by the GDWS to be used formally for pilot training.
The approval process evaluated everything from the hydrodynamic models and features of the simulator system to the competencies of instructors, training methods, and the simulator facilities. The Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute (BAW) carried out rigorous testing and verification of the ship models and hydrodynamic effects.
Special thanks to Remko Fehr and Marko Purwin at Lotsenbrüderschaft NOK II (Kiel / Lübeck / Flensburg) for their efforts in executing this process.
