Advanced navigational skills

Jeju is a popular island located in South Korea that attracts thousands of people for its jaw-dropping natural beauty. However, being an island means that the main mode of transportation to the surrounding regions is through the water.

VSTEP joined a tender process through the local partner SRC CO Ltd.

As such, one of the renowned high schools in Jeju – JEJU Seong San High School was searching for high tech maritime simulators to train their students advanced navigational skills. VSTEP joined a tender process through the local partner SRC CO Ltd. and has won the deal to deliver one Full Mission Bridge simulator with a fishing module as well as ten classroom-based training desktop simulators.

Fishing vessel operation

The simulators will allow their students to gain the competencies they require through realistic and cost-effective training. The configurations will enable groups of trainees to practise their navigation skills in highly detailed simulated environments in alignment with the school’s training goals.

Mr Hungi Lee, General Manager at SRC Co. Ltd said: “This fishing simulator is the 3rd series installed at the Korean Marine Science High School. After Gyeongnam Marine Science High School in 2014, the installation was completed at Pohang Marine Science High School in 2017. We take pride in supplying products of the best educational quality by supplying products that realise perfect performance through the development and update of fishing vessel operation functions every year.”
