Certified training options


NAUTIS Simulators allow training in full compliance with international standards and regulations:
The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (or STCW)
IMO Model Courses
IMCA Guidance on the use of simulators (IMCA C 014 Rev. 4 – March 2015)
Approved and certified by DNV GL - with class notation for Integrated Simulator System, Tug, HSC - to be compliant
with the Class A standard for certification of Maritime simulator systems DNVGL-ST-0033 Edition April 2018 and
compliant with the requirements of the STCW Convention, Regulation I/12
Nautical Institute Accreditation for DP Training Centres running VSTEP NAUTIS Dynamic Positioning Simulators
DNV-GL Class A Certification for Dynamic Positioning Simulators

Exceeding industry standards
Our consoles are designed according to dimensions and ergonomic specifications as set by class society standards
for ship building. Control plates are designed to mimic actual ship layouts. These plates can include multiple types of
propulsion and steering controls to create training solutions for various vessel types. We cooperate with well-known
control suppliers, whose controls are also used onboard real vessels. All together, this results in an utmost experience
of realism and makes you feel as though you are onboard an actual vessel, thereby increasing training immersion.

User-friendly instructor tools


NAUTIS Instructor Stations are both comprehensive
and user-friendly, with a complete graphical interface
in both 2D and 3D. Easily drag and drop ships into
environments, connect towing or mooring lines, drop
anchors, change vessel dynamics, view vector forces
and more from different views.

Open interface for customisation


NAUTIS supports a flexible and open interface,
allowing the addition of customised software-
developed navigation panels or nautical instruments
and hardware. This is more cost-effective and versatile
than buying real equipment of particular ships and
creating hardware interfaces.

High-quality support options


VSTEP customer support is supervised from our
headquarters and coordinated with our strategic
partners around the globe, always near you. We
provide different service agreements according to
your needs, ensuring you always receive the help you
need, when you need it, quickly and efficiently.

Less hardware, lower costs


NAUTIS Simulators are optimised to deliver high-
quality certified simulator power without the need
for many expensive PC’s. A complete NAUTIS FMB
Simulator requires only a few PC’s to run on, saving
hardware costs and making installation and support
much easier.
NAUTIS instructor station

Total control at your fingertips


An Instructor Station (IS) is a mandatory element of STCW compliant simulators. The NAUTIS IS allows an instructor to
follow a trainee’s decisions and actions in detail during each simulator training session and includes after action review
and assessment. It also interfaces seamlessly with all NAUTIS Simulator configurations.
The setup of the NAUTIS IS consists of displays on which the outside view and navigation screens of the trainee
are duplicated in real-time. This intuitive tool facilitates a high degree of control, which benefits the education and
examination of your students or employees. By operating the Instructor Station, instructors can also conduct a range
of tasks to carry out their training goals:
Prepare an exercise: select a training environment and add one or more vessels in it using the easy drag-and-drop
interface. Furthermore, you can set the weather conditions and time of day.
Save scenarios for later use.
The NAUTIS IS has both a 3D bird’s eye view of the environment and a 2D chart view.
Assign trainees that are logged into the exercise to one of the vessels.
Start, pause, record or stop the exercise.

During an exercise, the instructor can perform the following actions in real-time:
Change the weather, visibility and time of day.
Show a trail of all the ship movements.
Shift any of the vessels to a different position.
Assist in mooring operations by creating mooring lines.
Assist in anchoring operations by operating winches and communicating status of chain/anchor.
Operate tugs and their lines for towage assistance.
Add new target vessels, and set their speed and direction, or add them to a complex track.
Change the track of the target vessels and helicopters.
