With over 187 years of experience, Wilson Sons opened new facilities yesterday (September 25th) at its Training Centre, now located at Edifício Palazzo, on Avenida Ana Costa in Santos (São Paulo), featuring an upgraded tugboat manoeuvre simulator. This simulator will train the company’s captains and maritime workers on safety procedures and cutting-edge technology for its fleet of over 80 tugboats, which operate in more than 25 ports along the Brazilian coast, supporting domestic and international trade, as well as the offshore energy industry.
Simulator training enhances operating safety and efficiency, and supports the analysis and improvement of manoeuvres of large ships (up to 366 meters), which reduces operating restrictions at Brazilian ports.
Another special feature of this technology is scenario analysis, where different environments are simulated, and solutions are tested and developed for different port challenges faced in Brazil, with customized simulations for each port.
