Maritime Training in the
21st Century.
The bridge of STAR Center's 360° full-view training simulator.
Commercial and military maritime
personnel are upgrading their skills at
STAR Center, home of the world's first
360 ° full-view training simulator. This
21st century technology gives students
a "full mission" experience piloting
ships, tankers, barges and work boats
through inland waterways, ports and
on the oceans.
With the aid of STAR Center's
high performance visual simulator,
students encounter the expected and
unexpected in ship handling, docking,
navigation, engine operations and
cargo transfer. It's the kind of practice
that improves crew competence,
reduces the possibility of human error
and saves money for ship owners,
operators and insurers.
Students navigate their vessel
through a Port of Valdez snow storm,
encounter torrential rains while
docking in Miami and respond to a
shipboard emergency — all without
leaving the classroom. Following each
exercise, instructors meet with their
students to analyze video playbacks of
each simulation.
To learn more about training on
21st century technology, call or write
Harry J. Crooks, Director, STAR
Programs, for a facilities brochure and
a listing of classes.

SeaArk Delivers Survey
Vessel To Corps Of Engineers
The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers, St. Louis District, accepted
delivery of a survey vessel built by
SeaArk Marine. The new 42-foot
aluminum boat is designed for use
on the middle Mississippi River,
playing a key role in the Corps'
Bendway Weir Project, which in-
volves submerging rock structures
in river bends to control natural
river bank erosion and channel nar-
rowing.
Dubbed the J.H. Simpson, to
honor the first official St. Louis dis-
trict surveyor, Colonel James H.
Simpson, who served from 1873 to
1880, the Dauntless class, all-welded
aluminum vessel is powered by twin
Detroit Diesels. Electrical power is
from an Onan generator, and both
propulsion engines and generator
utilize Fernstrom closed cooling sys-
tems. For more information on the
