The academy which just opened last year and recently expanded its Fort Lauderdale, Fla., training facilities, adding a second ECDIS classroom with Transas -simulation software and Transas ECDIS to meet the high demand for Generic and Type-Speci Þ c EC- DIS training. The training partner- ship with Transas allows it to com- ply with all Flag State, Port State Control and ClassiÞ cation Society requirements and to better serve its global client base, in time for the new ECDIS training requirement deadlines. www.resolveacademy.com The Patriot StateDisplacement ..................................16,070 Long Tons Length ..............................................................581 Ft.

They can also obtain many of the assessments that they require for license upgrade in our Þ ve-day class that they would other- wise need to spend 10 days in a simula-tor for.? While Mass Maritime certainly counts its unique Manned Model Shiphandling Program as a feather in its maritime education cap, it is fully cognizant and supportive of the need for simulation technologies to produce a well trained mariner. When conditions keep its ves- sels in ?port?, training is switched to MMA?s new Transas 360 degree Full Mission Ship Simulator and Tug and Tow Simulators that are available as back up for days that we are unable to use the models due to weather. www.maritime.edu/cmt Email: cmt@maritime.eduMR #3 (34-41).indd 39MR #3 (34-41).indd 393/1/2013 9:59:53 AM3/1/2013 9:59:53 AM
