ICE MANAGEMENT
✓ DEFENCE
Master Arctic ice conditions
Our ice management simulators help mariners navigate pack ice, first-year ice, multi-year ice, icebergs, and learn ice breaking techniques. Learn with software embedded on OEM marine bridge equipment, or with our desktop module. Fully compliant with the Polar Code.
Run training missions
on your ship’s console.
Run simulation scenarios on OEM consoles with navigation data and RADAR video signals. Simulate ice procedures, calculate vessel impacts, and plan optimal routes.
Simulated sensors include: GPS, AIS, MINS, Gyro, Echo Sounder, Speed Log, and Metoc.
Our OEM Ice Management Simulator supports the basic and advanced coursing requirements under the new 2017 IMO Polar Code, and is currently being used by the Canadian Coast Guard to support their polar code and ice management competency training.
Ice Desktop Bridge Simulator
Combining Virtual Marine’s latest MissionQuest™ software with realistic ice models developed by Canadian research experts, our Ice Desktop Bridge Simulator offers ice-specific training scenarios and can be deployed on vessels or in remote locations. The simulator enables training in ice conditions commonly encountered during Arctic transit, including pack ice, first-year and multi-year ice, icebergs, and ice requiring ice breaking techniques. The system can be configured for a variety of vessel types and ice class specifications.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
“We can’t say enough about the level of superb customer support. We have had no hardware failures. Their staff are top notch and know their industry as well as ours. They easily programmed our scenarios as they knew what we were asking for — this minimized the typical iterations often experienced with simulator/VR designers and user SMEs, saving us staff time, and thus, money.”
