Wärtsilä, a maritime technology company, has recently delivered its dual-fuel simulator technology to the Singapore Maritime Officer’s Union’s Wavelink Maritime Institute (WMI) in Singapore. This technology aims to support the upskilling of seafarers in using new, sustainable fuels, as climate regulations push for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The simulation suite at WMI now includes a virtual reality element, along with a cloud-based solution that offers blended learning experiences for trainees. The goal is to prepare graduates to safely operate technologically advanced vessels and adapt to the shipping industry's decarbonised future. The need for training on new and emerging fuels, such as ammonia, hydrogen, and methanol, has been emphasized by various studies and reports. The maritime industry is deploying new vessels and engines rapidly, requiring seafarers to reskill and upskill to operate sustainable ships effectively. WMI's managing director highlighted the importance of continuous training in decarbonisation and alternative fuels to ensure students are aligned with industry transitions. Overall, Wärtsilä's advanced simulator technology is seen as a valuable tool in providing high-quality maritime training and meeting the evolving demands of the shipping industry.
