NAVIGATION
NTS-Pro 6000 is a family of Navigational simulators, including Full Mission Ship handling simulator, Steering simulator, Fishing simulator, ARPA and ECDIS simulator. It is a DNV Class A approved solution, with up to 360-degree visualization system projected on flat or cylindrical screens or LCD displays. Interfaces are proprietary hardware and are all in-house made and designed.
DESKTOP SIMULATOR
Desktop Navigation simulator is flexible training solution adaptable for various training environment. NTS-Pro 6000 Desktop simulator provides same functionality as our full scale training systems. The student workstation can be configured for number of different combination between main modules of ARPA/ECDIS/CONNING/VISUALS. STSTC unique design tabletop Steering console equipped with hardware controls dramatically increase reality of the simulation. Tabletop replica of ARPA/Radar keyboard and VHF handset are compliment to this cost-effective training solution. Operation is done through touch screens and hardware controls or mouse/computer keyboard. The simulator can be used as Stand-alone of Networked solution.
RADAR/ARPA TRAINING
NTS-Pro 6000/ARPA simulator is the ultimate solution for Radar/ARPA training. Bespoke radar scenes of any area in the world are available on the customer’s request. Simulation of widely used JRC/FURUNO radars together with replica of radar keyboard, provides realistic training. A wide range of realistic effects is simulated; shaded areas, loss of targets in heavy sea, radar picture change depending on ship’s rolling and pitching, echo-signals of different ranges depending on geometry and reflection capability of a shore line. The simulator can be used as a Stand-alone or Networked solution.
Radar simulation taking in to account the following parameters:
◦ earth geodesic data and geometry of simulated area;
◦ size and position of objects;
◦ antenna location and size of radar reflective surface;
ECDIS TRAINING
NTS-Pro 6000/ECDIS is a Type-approved solution for ECDIS training. With mandatory introduction of ECDIS for SOLAS vessels, ECDIS operation training becomes compulsory. The STSTC ECDIS Simulator is fully compliant with the latest performance standards for shipborne navigation equipment.
The simulator can be supplied in various configurations, starting from PC-based software suitable for shipboard training to the large scale classroom multi-function networked solution. A powerful instructor station has a built-in assessment module to ensure the quality of training.
Main Features:
◦ Stand-alone or MFC Network configuration;
◦ On-screen control for maneuvering and operation;
◦ Several options for DNV Type approved ECDIS are available
GMDSS
The GMDSS simulator is CTS-Pro 6000 designed for training and certification under the requirements of STCW (2010) and IMO Model Course 1.25. The simulator is suitable for GOC and ROC training and can be used for SAR and VTS operator training. With fourth generations product development and quality confirmed by multiple type approvals, CTS-Pro 6000 is an ultimate tool for GMDSS training and certification. Type-approved by DNV, Class NK and various national authorities.

CONFIGURATION
CTS-Pro 6000 can be configured with a number of options to cover various needs and requirements. The stand-alone option is suitable for familiarisation and self-study purposes. Networked Basic configuration is designed for large classes of up to 32 Student workstations. Enhanced Networked configuration consisting of hardware replica of real GMDSS equipment, including full-size or compact consoles. Up to 32 Student stations can be configured for SAR and VTS training.
REALISTIC SIMULATION OF ACTUAL GMDSS EQUIPMENT
Each Student station could be accommodated with a compact console equipped with replica panels resembling actual GMDSS equipment. All hardware is in-house designed/made and reflect all the features and design of actual GMDSS equipment. Consoles and Handsets are USB interfaced.
Fishery
NTS Pro 6000-F is the ultimate tool for fisherman education and competence development. The system allows students to familiarize and learn how to operate different types of fishing gear, while building understanding of different fishing techniques. Fisherman will learn how to plan fishing campaign, find and catch fish, while handling vessel’s navigation. Combination of highly realistic dynamic fishing algorithms and environmental conditions allows training at different levels. Full Fishing gear control, together with modern fishing equipment simulation and realistic 3D underwater presentation, creates the ultimate tool for fisherman training.
FEATURES AND APPLICATION
Fishing simulator NTS Pro 6000-F is a part of the extended range of STSTC Navigation simulators family. NTS Pro 6000-F can be delivered either as a stand-alone system or as an integrated module to existing STSTC bridge simulators.
The simulator will increase competence and help with career development for the fisherman who wants to develop skills in navigation and different fishing methods to meet today’s higher standards of fishing.
The NTS Pro 6000-F follows the IMO initiative to increase safety and productivity through implementation of STCW-F requirements, and is certified by DNV to comply with training standards ST-0033, Section 14: Fishery operation.
FAMILIARIZATION AND USE OF FISHING EQUIPMENT
The simulator will provide realistic simulation of modern fishing equipment. It simulates acoustic signals and signal propagation under different environmental conditions, including refraction, absorption in the water, doppler effect and others. Familiarisation with fishing equipment in application to fish finding and catching will allow the fisherman to change parameters and control fishing equipment in the most efficient way by using various fishing techniques.
FISH FINDING AND FISHING TRAINING
The simulator will help to familiarize students with various fishing techniques under different environmental conditions pursuing a wide range of objectives:
- Search and finding fishing schools by use of equipment
- Use of of various fishing gear to catch fish
- Vessel maneuvering during fishing operation
- Fishing vessel operation training
- Fisherman certification and assessment
MASTERING FISHING GEAR
Replicas of actual control panels are used for Sonar and Trawl-master stations.Trawl-master console accommodates all fishing equipment. The simulator provides realistic simulation of various fishing gear, including different kind of trawls, seines, lines, winches and their controls. The end-user will be able to adjust a wide range of parameters including:
- Type of trawl, seine and longline
- Wire and line length, loading
- Board dimensions, position and weight
