Disrupting Maritime Education with Accessible, Engaging Training

Onboard Maritime, a leading provider of maritime training services based in Glasgow, are excited to announce the launch of its innovative Virtual Training Ship and online game. Designed to enhance the training and development of maritime professionals, this cutting-edge resource offers a highly realistic and engaging experience of life at sea, providing users with a unique opportunity to experience and master maritime operations in a safe and controlled environment.

Innovative Training for the Next Generation of Mariners

The Virtual Training Ship is more than just a game—it is a comprehensive training tool designed to introduce the challenges and demands of real-world maritime operations. With detailed interactive shipboard systems, navigational challenges, and emergency scenarios, the platform offers users the chance to develop and hone their skills in a variety of roles.

“Onboard Maritime is committed to pushing the boundaries of maritime training,” said Angus Ferguson, Technical Director of Onboard Maritime. “Our Virtual Training Ship represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide accessible, affordable, high-quality training that prepares maritime professionals globally for the complexities of their roles at sea.”

A Safe Environment for Real-World Challenges

The platform features state-of-the-art graphics to create an authentic maritime environment, all designed by the Onboard Maritime in-house team. The virtual training ship enables organisations and educational institutions to create bespoke scenarios that allow seafarers to navigate through changing weather conditions, manage onboard systems, and respond to emergencies—all within a risk-free virtual setting. This approach is not only a more sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional bridge and engine resource training, it also allows users to gain valuable experience and confidence.

Global Accessibility and Flexible Learning

Onboard Maritime’s Virtual Training Ship is designed for global accessibility, which makes it an ideal tool for maritime educational institutions, shipping companies, and individual professionals looking to advance their skills. The Virtual Training Ship allows users to access training from anywhere in the world, at any time.

Additionally, the game’s modular structure enables learners to focus on specific areas of interest, which means it can be tailored to your specific training requirements.
