PROCESS AND CARGO HANDLING SIMULATOR

The ARI Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator simulates the real time process flow control systems used in the storage and transfer of potentially hazardous bulk liquids from shore to ship and vice versa, and is capable of being used for training over the full range of situations from routine operations to emergencies with catastrophic potential.

The simulator is an advanced training solution for officers at the operational and management levels. It is a scalable solution starting with a single PC instructor-less solution ranging up to full mission configurations comprising cargo control consoles, instructor stations, mimic pipeline panels and more.

The ARI Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator is considered to be amongst the most versatile and flexible training tools of its kind in the world. The model library includes Oil Tankers, VLCC, Product Tanker, Chemical Tanker, LPG Carriers and LNG Carriers. Each simulated vessel is equipped with a fully functional load calculator. The mathematical model that drives fluid behavior in the simulator is exceptionally powerful and ensures that accurate and reliable results are observed under every condition likely to be experienced during vessel cargo operations.


Cargo Operating System

Cargo (deck) system for individual ship types from where the trainee operates all the ‘local’ components of the cargo system such as valves, pumps, compressors, shut down system etc. All systems which are not remotely operated from the CCR are represented here such as cargo loading/ discharging valves, tank washing systems, portable gas detection systems, vent control systems, spool pieces and blanks, drains, pressure relief valves, heater and booster pumps and many others. Each ship type is equipped with its own operating panel which is fully integrated with the CCR, instructor station and any additional local control stations.

Advanced Training Solutions

An important part of training in tanker operations is to develop the ability to observe deviations from standard conditions, identify the underlying cause and take corrective actions - all of these within time spans which are sufficiently small to prevent the fault condition from reaching catastrophic proportions.

The ARI Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator assists in the development of these skills by including a large library of faults. These faults can be introduced by the instructor at strategic points during the conduct of exercises where their effect can be best emphasized. Alternatively these faults can be introduced at the exercise creating stage for automatic introduction at the appropriate time.
