Two DNV GL Approvals for GTT Training Software
GTT Training, a GTT subsidiary dedicated to training liquefied natural gas (LNG) professionals and to the development of associated simulation tools, has obtained two approvals for G-Sim training software from DNVGL in accordance with their standard for Maritime Simulator Systems. This standard specifies the requirements of simulators that are to be used to deliver training to the shipping industry in accordance with the STCW[1] convention requirements. The G-Sim software and the LNG Carrier models have received the Type A 'Full Mission' approval, the highest level of compliance in the field of maritime simulation systems. This classification…
GTT Wins LNG Simulator Order
GTT Training, subsidiary of Gaztransport and Technigaz (GTT), has announced that it has received a contract to supply its G-Sim LNG simulator software to L-3 DPA Inc. and Chevron. The contract involves the development of a new LNG Carrier model based specifically of the new LNG vessels owned and operated by Chevron. The G-Sim software will also interface with the Engine Room simulation equipment being provided to Chevron by L-3 DPA. Used to provide hands-on, real-time training in the processes and procedures that must be followed to undertake and complete any type of LNG cargo related operation, G-Sim provides full simulation of all the systems on a vessel that are involved in the management and handling of the LNG cargo and maintaining the vessel in a safe condition.
GTT Expands Capability of LNG Cargo Operations Simulator
GTT Training announced the expansion of the capabilities of its LNG Cargo Operations Simulator. Used to provide hands on, real time training in the processes and procedures that must be followed to undertake and complete any type of LNG cargo related operation, the LNG Cargo Operations simulator provides full simulation of all the systems on a vessel that are involved in the management and handling of the LNG cargo and maintaining the vessel in a safe condition. The capabilities of the simulator have now been expanded to allow the instructor to be able to select from 16 different configurations of LNG Carrier, with the selection being based on tank capacity, containment system and propulsion system.
GTT Opens U.K. Branch Office
GTT opened a U.K. branch office to continue providing the LNG Industry with additional services and support. GTT said it plans to utilize its expertise and experience in the design of LNG containment systems and the associated cargo equipment and infrastructure to help the industry continue its development. GTT’s U.K. team, led by Ray Gillett, will focus on developing new tools and services that maximize GTT’s expertise in specific areas to help address some of the issues that the LNG industry may encounter as it expands. The team will also assist operators in maximizing the operational effectiveness of the systems in which they are involved. GTT’s U.K.
