Circular Letter
MSC.1/Circ.1209
INFORMATION ON SIMULATORS AVAILABLE FOR USE IN MARITIME TRAINING
(22 May 2006)
1.
The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-third session (16 to 25 May 1994),
instructed the Secretariat to compile, from the replies received in response to
MSC/Circ.567/Rev.1 (Information Required on Simulators available for use in
maritime training), a list of maritime training institutions equipped with
simulators, to provide a source of information on availability of such training
for use by administrations, shipowners and others. The first list was
circulated by MSC/Circ.633 and subsequent information by MSC/Circ.721 and
MSC/Circ.852.
2.
The Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping (STW), at its
thirty-seventh session (23 to 27 January 2006), noting that many simulators at
existing training institutions may have been replaced and new simulators may
have been installed at other training institutions, agreed that it was
necessary to update the information at an early date.
3.
The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-first session (10 to 19 May 2006),
endorsed the corresponding request by the Sub-Committee and urged Member
Governments to provide the information on the availability of simulators in
their training institutions in the format set out in the annex, at an early
date, to enable the Secretariat to compile an updated circular.
