Trainee Workstation Engine Room Simulator ERS 4000 Propulsion Plant The set of equipment simulated in ERS 4000 complies with the modern standard accepted for ships diesel and steam turbine plants. To fully meet the engineering training requirements of its customers, Transas has simulated three of the most widespread types of ship s propulsion plant, including: Two-stroke slow-speed diesels: MAN B&W 6S60MC, MAN B&W 10K98MC, Wartsila-Sulzer 6RTA58 with a fixed pitch propeller Four-stroke medium-speed diesel of the SEMT Pielstick 16 PC2.2V-400 type with a controllable pitch propeller Four-stroke high-speed diesel of the Caterpillar 3508 TA type with reversible reduction gear and fixed pitch propeller Steam turbine cross-compound, double reduction geared (Kawasaki UA-400 as prototype) Electric Power Plant The Ship s Electric Power Plant incorporated in ERS 4000 includes the main switch board and control panels for dieselgenerators, shaft-generator, turbo-generator, emergency diesel-generator, shore supply, consumers, synchronising, automatic and manual control modes, alarm and safety system. The simulator imitates the actual dynamics of the transition processes, allowing the trainee to acquire the appropriate operation skills. Simulated Systems Include Diesel Generators Shaft Generator Turbo Generators Shore Supply Emergency Generator Sections of Main Switch Board and Emergency Switch Board Consumers, feeders, earth monitoring, etc. Emergency switch board Simulated Systems Include Systems providing operation of propulsion complex United mimic diagram of systems with machinery and units parameterisation functionality ERS 4000 incorporates an up-to-date simulated ship alarm system with visual and acoustic signals and automatic logger, as well as a powerful safety system with slowdown and shutdown functions and Dead Man system and Dead Man system. These systems are essential for the training of emergency situations and equipment failures on all types of engine room equipment. Turbo Generator General Cargo 2 main engine control Main switch board Fuel oil supply system SCSW of Tanker LNG Auxiliary Systems The extensive range of Auxiliary systems and Machinery subsystems modeled in ERS 4000 meets the ever growing requirements set forth for marine engineering simulator training. The set of Auxiliary Systems and mechanisms is compliant with MARPOL and SOLAS requirements. Simulated Systems Include Steering Gear Ballast System Sewage Treatment System Incinerator Steam Plant Fire systems Bilge Systems Refrigeration Systems, etc. Incinerator Ballast system 4 5

Engine Room Simulator ERS 4000 Virtual Reality Engine Room The 3D Engine Room is an innovative module included in the Transas ERS 4000 simulator. With this module, simulator users can solve the following training tasks: 3-D virtual reality of the Engine Room area for familiarisation support Standard and Advanced operation, including troubleshooting System mimic diagrams and local control places Familiarisation with Engine Room sounds Ship s diesel propulsion plant Hardware Controls To simulate the vessel interior with greater realism and thus further improve the efficiency of training, ERS 4000 can be supplied with full-size control consoles comprising built-in monitoring and control panels, as well as computers. The hardware consoles included in ERS 4000 imitate: Integrated Engine Control Room control desk Main Switchboard and Emergency Switchboard of the Ship s Electric Power Plant Engine Room local control places Monitoring and control panels ensuring the inspection of the majority of simulator systems and their control Alarm panels Sounds and noises of all the major engine room devices, as well as alarm sound signals Sound & Visual Alarm Unit. ERS 4000 transmits the complete set of alarm signals to this newly-implemented device External equipment may be connected to create customized controls configuration through universal hardware interface. All sets of real consoles supplied with ERS 4000 are provided with built-in computers connected to a lo cal network, which ensures the full interactivity between all the components of the simulator.

Engine Room Simulator ERS 4000 Instructor Station ERS 4000 is an excellent tool for carrying out professional education, training, and knowledge assessment of ship s engineers, under the supervision of an Instructor. Advanced exercise monitoring and analysis functions of the simulator s Instructor Station make ERS 4000 applicable for training tasks of practically any level of complexity. Up to 12 interactive Trainee Stations can be controlled from a single Instructor Station. Exercise Editing Generation of new exercises Editing of existing exercises Access to existing and creation of new training scenarios Transas is able to provide courseware packages according to SRCW 95 requirements On-line Class Exercise monitoring, on-line control of a class network Introduction of equipment faults, changing preset exercise parameters in the on-line mode Recording of all the events at Trainee workstations Various ship models could be appointed for different trainees at the same time; the task could be appointed for individual, team and crew training Debriefing Post-exercise analysis of trainee performance Replay of recorded exercises in real, fast and slow time or in the step-by-step mode Competence Assessment Instructor place A set of standard tests on maritime qualifications for competence assessment exercises Results database for training statistics The ERS 4000 Instructor Station incorporates the following equipment: Dual-head computer LAN server Color printer Projector. Training of bridge personnel Integration with Navigational Simulator Using the open architecture and modular design structure of its simulator systems, Transas has allowed for the integration of the ERS 4000 and NTPRO 4000 shiphandling simulator into a single interactive training environment. The combined training of engineering personnel and deck officers in a single exercise solves the following tasks: Training of efficient and well-coordinated cooperation between the engine room and bridge crews as it is onboard the real ship Understanding of the complexity of all onboard equipment and interactions Training of emergency situations Advanced equipment familiarisation necessary due to the increased level of automation on board ships, where modern engine monitoring and control devices are installed on the bridge (in accordance with the IMO Watch 1 standard) Such integrated training is now increasingly demanded by: Maritime training centres and schools, where dual qualifications (watch officer/engineer) are available Shipping companies training their crews onboard and ashore Advanced shiphandling simulator courses designed for crews of vessels with an A1/A2 automation class Instructor station Instructor slave monitor Training of engine room personnel 8 9
