Background
• Navigating in arctic ice conditions
requires speciall skills.
• Training in real life situations is
challenging.
• Training of unexpected situations
are possible only in the
simulators.
• Models of ice conditions do not
correspond to reality at existing
simulators.
 Development of a new, more qualified and
realistic simulator has begun in Finland

Background in the
WINMOS project
• Simulator facilities and simulator training program for
ships officers has been developed.
• Specific criteria for simulator facilities and
individual ship model quality have been defined.
Specific shortcomings in present simulators and
their modelling and presentation technologies have
been evaluated and listed.
• The most critical simulation shortcomings for icetraining simulators were selected for development and
improvement in co-operation with simulator
manufactures.

 After the WINMOS
project, the first installation
• Aboa Mare Training Facility (Turku, Finland)
• Full bridge simulator (3 projectors; 180° field of view)
• Possibility to operate multiple ships in ice simultaneously

The tasks for the simulator
development
AKER ARCTIC ICE -simulaattorin
tilausmäärittely
No Yleistä simulaattorista ja -ohjelmistosta
1 Simulaattoriohjelmisto toimii Windows-ympäristössä.
2 Ohjelmisto käyttää HLA (High Level Architecture) -standardia.
Ohjelma rakentuu itsenäisistä sovelluskomponenteista, joiden liittäminen ja
3
laajentaminen on helppoa.
4 Simulaattorin perusrunko on luokiteltu DNV GL Class A -standardin mukaisesti.

Simulaattorin uusin versio hankkeen aloitushetkellä toimitetaan pian
hankkeen aloituksen jälkeen.
Simulaattorilla toteutettavat harjoitukset
6 AAIS-simulaattorilla voidaan harjoitella seuraavia koulutuksia:

• luotsikutterin käsittely avovedessä
9
• luotsikutterin käsittely jääolosuhteissa
The development work is divided in 4 phases. After each
phase, the developed tasks will be tested by working group
and reported.

• luotsikutterin ajo luotsattavan kauppa-aluksen kylkeen ja
irrottautuminen avovedessä (harjoituksen pääasiallinen tavoite
kauppa-aluksen aiheuttaman imuvaikutuksen simulointi)
• luotsikutterin ajo luotsattavan kauppa-aluksen kylkeen ja
irrottautuminen jääolosuhteissa
• luotsin laivaan nousu ja laivan jättö avovedessä (pääasiallinen tavoite
leen eli tuulensuojan tekeminen luotsikutterille aallokossa)
• luotsin laivaan nousu ja laivan jättö jääolosuhteissa
Jäänmurtajaoperointi
• jään murtaminen
• rännin avaaminen jäähän
• rännnnissä ajo

High Fidelity Simulator is
the Aim of the Project
• A simulator that physically and functionally imitates the
real equipment and environment as well as possible.
• The simulator is needed for different reasons: cost, safety,
easiness of teaching, efficiency in teaching, testing of
design and in finding out operational limits.
• It could also be used in accident investigations by
visualizing the incident. One can make independent
analyses of the accidents or incidents. It is possible to
create many “near miss” or “what if” scenarios.
• Simulator can be tailored just for certain vessel and its
operations.

Physical background
of ice models
 Ice loads are calculated based on actual hull geometry, ice conditions around the ship,
and vessel motions
 Multiple calculation models for different ice types
 line loads (level ice)
 pressure loads (brash ice, ridges)
 Verification through model tests and full scale measurements
