One of the port services is to provide the opportunity for cruise companies to train manoeuvres with accurate hydrodynamic models of their cruise vessels on this advanced training and research simulator. The simulator exists of five 110” Visual Display Units which provide a 300˚ rear-projection screen and two sideview LCD widescreens for berthing manoeuvres. Together with the compact deskconsole and COTS based PC’s, it fits easily in an office building such as the Malta Transport Centre.
