Sydney Ports Corporation

'At Sydney Ports Corporation we use the Smartship facility as our simulator of choice. Whether we are looking to recruit new pilots, train existing pilots or test out new or revised operational practices; the capabilities offered by the team and the technology at Smartship are more than able to meet our needs. With the capacity to model new port infrastructure and dynamics and draw from an impressive range of ship type models we have yet to find a problem which we wish to simulate where Smartship cannot offer us a solution'.

Port of Napier Limited

'Napier Port have been using the Smartship facility since 2011 for pilot training which has included Advanced Marine Pilot Training and simulation training for all pilot grades. Recently we have also used Smartship for tugmaster training and port development. The tugmaster training has proved extremely worthwhile and with pilots and tugmasters working together this has allowed us to develop standard commands and optimal ways of working within the port. The ship and tug simulators have proved to be an excellent facility providing high quality models of both the port and vessels with realistic hydrodynamic effects. Crucial to pilot training and development of the port has been the high level of support and knowledge from course facilitators and Smartship Instructors. Smartship is an excellent, professional facility and continues to support the training needs of Napier Port'.

Trevor Morrison, Senior Pilot, Napier Port

Damen Shipyards

'Damen is a shipbuilding company operating worldwide, we have delivered over 60 tugs and workboats to the Australian – New Zealand region. A few years ago we started working with Smartship in Brisbane on simulations and models for the ASD and ATD tug types we’ve delivered in the region. This allows our customers to take on simulator training ahead of their new vessel being delivered. We at Damen value the relationship with Peter and his team at Smartship and would always recommend our customers to visit the facilities in Brisbane. I am not a trained captain but can assure that after 2 minutes on the simulator you feel like being out there for real'.

Roland Briene, Area Director Asia-Pacific, Damen Shipyards Group
