GE Marine upgrades training simulator at Egyptian maritime centre

摘要

IN 2012, THE AAST-GE DP Center was established through a joint effort between GE and the Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT) in northern Egypt for the training of mariners. Operated by AASTMT, the facility joins a group of only 12 centres in the world that are qualified by the Nautical Institute to offer Sea Time Reduction courses. This means that trainees are credited with 30 days of sea time when they complete five days of intensive training in the Class A dynamic positioning (DP) simulator.
