This offer applies to all maritime simulator types, ranging from desktop solutions and ECDIS systems to DNV Class A full mission bridge simulators.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for VSTEP told GreenPort <\/em>the company’s taking part in the programme “because of our belief that we can do our bit (although only small) towards a cleaner shipping industry. Our participation stems from idealism, but we are a young company and strongly believe in doing our part where possible”. <\/p>\n Jan Fransen, executive director, Green Award Foundation, added: \u201cGreen Award is happy to welcome yet another type of Incentive Provider to our network. With our special emphasis on the human element, it is a logical step for a company that provides advanced simulators to the maritime industry to join the network.\u201d<\/p>\n VSTEP simulators are a new generation of simulators for the maritime industry. They fulfil training requirements in full compliance with the latest international standards and regulations.<\/p>\n Green Award certifies ships and shipping companies that take extra care to deliver clean and safe shipping.
