To cooperate with the national renewable energy policies, and utilize our university’s marine resources, we have built the “Maritime Engineering Elite Training Base for Offshore Wind Industry”, in order to nurture our staff and students’ ability to practice in the offshore wind turbine field, and improve the students’ competitiveness upon entering the workplace of wind power. Moreover, we will develop an emerging employment market for maritime talents, to link the academia-industry research projects required for the offshore wind power industry, and localize the offshore wind power technologies.

Cargo Handling Simulator(CHS)

Cargo Handling Simulator (CHS) is deployed by NKUST to improve the techniques of Class I and Class II seafarers, and in response to the requirements of Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW 78/95), to enable masters, Class I seafarers, and Class II seafarers in charge of cargo handling on tankers to better understand techniques and knowledge of tank operations and cargo handling, so as to protect the safety of navigation of Taiwan tankers and cargo handling.

Full Mission Bridge Simulator

Ship Handling Simulator (SHS) is developed by KONGSBERG, a leading simulator company in Norway. The SHS can simulate 18 ports, including Keelung, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Strait of Malacca, Singapore, Strait of Dover, the United Kingdom, and Halifax, Canada, and 35 types of vessels with different tonnages, including container ship, oil tanker, bulk carrier, warship, motor boat, and passenger ship. The SHS can also simulate various weather and sea conditions to train crew or trainees on their ship maneuvering capabilities and familiarity with COLREG.

GMDSS Simulator

The Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) simulator can help trainees understand how to operate marine search and rescue devices, by Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) and radar SARTs, in maritime distress. The simulator can accommodate 16 trainees for concurrent operations, to improve safety of life at sea. The simulator with upgraded functions was accepted on December 24, 2001.

Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA)

Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA), also known as radar ARPA simulator, is a 1:4 training simulator. The system software provided by TRANSAS, a leading simulator company, provides a variety of port environment, including Port of Hamburg, Germany, Port of Amsterdam, Netherlands, Strait of Malacca, Singapore, and Strait of Dover, the United Kingdom; as well as a variety of ship models, including container ship, oil tanker, bulk carrier, warship, and LPG carrier. It can also simulate various weather and sea conditions to train crew or trainees on their handling capabilities and familiarity with COLREG.

Marine Engineering Simulator

ERS is a full mission simulator and is configured with the system software provided by KONGSBERG, a leading simulator company in Norway. ERS can simulate system operations in engine room and engine control room with a PC system. The simulator provides a variety of system failures for emergency training, in an effort to provide effective and systematic training to engine crew at management level in view of consistent navigation safety. In addition to engine, generator, and boiler, the simulator also has four operational systems, a trainer control room, an electrical power control room, and various instruments for different types of training.

Multi Function Simulator

The marine radar simulator developed by TRANSAS can simulate a number of ports along Strait of Malacca, Singapore, Strait of Dover, the United Kingdom, and waters off New York Harbor, the USA; and 11 types of vessels with different tonnages, including container ship, oil tanker, bulk carrier, yacht, and passenger ship. It is also equipped with one genuine radar for training. It can simulate a variety of navigation conditions to help crew or trainees better understand radar operations and anti-collision operations using radar.

Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS)

The ECDIS simulator provided by TRANSAS is a 1:8 multi-function ECDIS-based ship handling simulator. As required by International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), vessels with a tonnage above 3,000 tons must have an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS)installed onboard by the first half of 2018. This system principally provides maritime training to meet the latest Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers (STCW2010).

Exclusive Terminal

NKUST terminal has a full length of 105 meters, and provides berths for vessels with a total tonnage of approximately 6,000 tons. NKUST is the only maritime university that has its exclusive terminal in Taiwan, which also laid a foundation for the development of maritime education in Taiwan.

Survival and Fire Extinguishing Facilities

MTC has complete facilities, including survival and firefighting training bases. MTC provides training on survival and firefighting techniques for seafarers as commissioned by MTC, and also open its facilities to the general industry, to widely improve firefighting techniques and minimize property and life losses in case of fire accidents. Firefighting is a serious and important topic both at sea and on coast and must be attached with importance.
