Educating Italian Shipping Industry: Navigation and Simulation Seminar

The newly appointed Transas Marine representative in Italy – CAIM – hosted their annual seminar for the shipping industry in Sorrento on 15th November 2006. The free seminar was held in conjunction with the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) and Transas Marine UK Ltd. Attendees were informed about recent developments relating to electronic navigation and other official data/products available via CAIM. During the seminar, Transas presented their range of on-board navigation systems. Of particular interest to attendees were the Navi-Sailor 3000 ECDIS, the latest Integrated Navigation System (INS), Transas Light INS, and S-VDR. Presentations of Transas Simulation systems and Transas Vessel Traffic Services systems were made for the colleges and port authorities present. Over 130 delegates attended, representing ship owners, operators, agents, harbour authorities and training establishments from all over Italy. Real-time translation of all presentations was provided by RAI (Italian National Television) through wireless headsets. The Transas simulator and INS were the showpieces of the event, attracting attendees during every break and inspiring discussions.
