VSTEP, Poseidon to Bring NAUTIS to Philippines
Two international developers and suppliers of maritime-related educational and operational products, solutions and services, VSTEP and Poseidon Asia, Inc. (PAI), have forged an alliance to bring the NAUTIS maritime simulators and training apps to the Philippines.
Headquartered in Rotterdam, VSTEP is known for its NAUTIS maritime simulator solutions and virtual training software for both civilian and naval military applications. Its DNV-certified simulators allow training in compliance with all known design criteria, class, and IMO requirements.
Poseidon Asia is the local office of Poseidon Simulation, which is part of the Poseidon Group with head office in the Lofoten Islands in Norway. The company specializes in the development of PC-based maritime instrument simulators.
Through Poseidon Asia, VSTEP has officially made available its NAUTIS maritime simulators to stakeholders in the Philippine maritime industry including maritime institutions, maritime training centers, as well as local ship management and crew manning companies. The two international companies have partnered to effectively cater to the Philippine maritime industry, with focus on the maritime education and training sector.
PAI Chairman Bjarne Pedersen said the partnership with VSTEP is another testament to the company’s commitment to the Philippine maritime industry as it continues to strive for ways to raise the country’s maritime education and training level to international standards.
As an official confirmation of this partnership, Poseidon Asia and VSTEP will showcase the NAUTIS maritime simulators at the upcoming Global Crew Connect event in Manila.
