Abstract
Simulator training has been spread over the world. But it has just been introduced in Japanease maritime society. In foreign countries, several points to improve toward the simulator training are reported in some research projects. Authors propose educational and training curricula using ship handling simulator based on the concept of elemental shiphandling techniques. It makes possible to clarify the purpose of the educational and training curricula and improve the efficiency of it. In this paper, the authors propose such curricula for cadets, officers and captains & pilots. And the reasonability of the curricula for cadets is verified. Finally, the authors propose the required specification of the ship handling simulators to be used for the purposed curricula.
