• 12 x NARAS-O/Fleet work simulators
• Vessel Traffic System simulator at 3 control positions
• 6 Bridge ECDIS Suite
Simulation Courses
We deliver bespoke courses which are tailored to individual clients needs because we recognise that each client is different. We primarily utilise our 360° full mission bridge to provide, amongst others, specialised ship handling courses. These include;
• Pilot Training
• Ship Specific training
• Propulsion Specific Training
• Port Specific training
Specialised Operations such as;
• Ship to Ship Transfer
• Replenishment at Sea for Seismic Industry
Our in-house capabilities in visual & hydrodynamic modelling means there is no limit with regard to vessels or ports that can be simulated.
In addition to enhancing these courses, the modelling capabilities allow us to offer the facilities for manoeuvring and port development studies.
Our extensive expertise in simulation allows us to also offer consultancy services in all aspects of simulation; design, purchase, and installation, together with course preparation and delivery.
We also deliver approved courses such as;
• ECDIS Operator Electronic Chart Display
• Nautical Knowledge Weeks
• VTS- V-103/1 VTS Operator -Simulation
• VTS- V-103/1Operator Underpinning Knowledge
• 2 day Kongsberg Type Specific Training
We are constantly developing new courses as well.
Our suite of bridges is enhanced and complimented by extensive engine and cargo simulation.
• Full mission Engine Room simulator with low and high speed diesel engine models
• 20 student workstations for Engine Room systems simulations
• Liquid cargo handling and damage control simulators at 10 student workstations
They allow us to offer combined simulator exercises, in addition to the process training that the engine and cargo simulators are suited for.

6 new U.S Ships for Viking Cruises
Plans call for the construction of six new vessels over the next three years at an estimated cost of $90 million to $100 million per vessel, all of which will be built in U.S. shipyards and crewed by U.S. citizens.
The vessels will be owned by Tennenbaum Capital Partners, a Los Angeles-based alternative investment management firm, and time-chartered to Viking in full compliance with maritime laws. Viking River Cruises customers, traveling to New Orleans from across the U.S., Europe and beyond, will bring new business to hotels, restaurants, museums and other attractions in the city, expanding sales for local merchants. More than 90 percent of sales created by the project will come from out-of-state customers.
NMCI Services release new course
NMCI Services will run a High Voltage (Management) course in the coming weeks.
As the High Voltage (Management) course is a commercial course, it is available to book online at the following link: High Voltage (M). Once you have registered and paid online you will appear on the course participants list. Unfortunately, we cannot accept provisional course booking requests as there are limited places available. The course cost is €1,200 per delegate.
This course is suitable for marine engineering officers, electrical or electro-technical officers, engineer surveyors and marine superintendents. The training gives seafarers the essential education and training in high voltage (HV) installations to meet the Knowledge, Understanding and Proficiency requirements as set out in STCW 2010 Tables A-III/2 and A-III/6 for electrical, electronic and control systems at the management level.
