Mistral 4000 Full Mission Bridge Simulator allows an accelerated and intensive experience in a safe and controlled environment risk free emergency response training and interiorizing of shipboard procedures. Ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operation is the transfer of cargo between seagoing ships positioned alongside each other, either while stationary or underway. Cargoes typically transferred via STS methods include crude oil, liquefied gas (LPG or LNG), bulk cargo, and petroleum products. Nevertheless it sometimes can be useful to transfer cargo from one ship to another in the open sea and this is called a ship-to-ship operation. The nomenclature STS is normally used in reference to techniques used by civilian merchant vessels
ECA Group offered a support with its Training Simulator Mistral 4000 and its capability to simulate complex and various scenarios in which the seafarers are called to work.
