[23.11.09.] Samwoo Immersion obtains classification certification for the world's first Seafarers Training Program for Ships subject to the IGF Code (Basic-Course)

The 『Seafarers Training Program for Ships subject to the IGF Code (Bagic-Course)』 developed by Samwoo Immersion, has been certified by Lloyd's Register. Lloyd's Register is the world's largest non-profit classification society located in London, and its shipbuilding rules have become the standard for the global shipbuilding community. As a recognized authority on reliability and technology assessment, certification from here means compliance with international regulations.

On the 9th, a certificate award ceremony was held at Samwoo Immersion XR Lecture Room. At this award ceremony, which was attended by representatives and practitioners from Korea Marine Equipment Research Institute, Lloyd's Register, Samwoo Immersion, and GOT Power, David Kim, CEO of Samwoo Immersion expressed his ambition, "We will continue to innovate in the field of education and training for eco-friendly ships and safe ship operations in the future."

[Halldale 24.01.09.] The Maritime Community’s Blurring S&T Lines

[Forward-leaning Technologies for Commercial Mariners]

The commercial maritime industry’s efforts to elevate its training to higher plateaus include different classes of ships and crew members throughout a vessel – from bridge watch standers to engineers – and key port operations personnel.

In one rapidly evolving development, as part of a South Korean government-led, national R&D project, Samwoo Immersion developed an overarching LNG (liquified natural gas) propulsion ship duty training system, and simultaneously trained professional LNG propulsion personnel through the system’s development. The program’s content provides instruction for: loading, unloading, and transfer bunkering operations between LNG bunkering vessels (ships that provide liquified natural gas to other ships for their own consumption) and ships with LNG propulsion; onboard LNG propulsion ship fuel supply training; and DF (dual fuel) engine operation training. With each detailed duty procedure, an integrated automated station (IAS) operation method, fuel gas supply system (FGSS) instruction, and accident incident education are conducted.

Samwoo Immersion plans to build and scale this education platform to help train and produce about 2,000 professional mariners annually. The company’s strategy to meet this objective calls for operating an XR-based, eco-friendly ship duty training center using its own XR-based education and training platform, SWXR CAMPUS, and operating its own LNG-related professional personnel training course. The full scope of this project is attention-getting as it is conceptually based on supporting a 100-ship LNG fleet and their 10,000 professional mariners.

Similar to flight training devices in the adjacent commercial aviation training sector obtaining regulatory agency approval prior to operation, Samwoo Immersion’s new LNG education system received IGF Code certification (international certification for low flash-point fuels on ships) from Lloyd’s Register. The company also plans to undergo the certification process for education and training centers by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of South Korea and The Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO).

David Kim, Samwoo Immersion’s CEO, reported the company has delivered the LNG propulsion ship duty training system content to domestic shipping companies (by way of KLCSM) and South Korea-based shipyards.

The CEO provided the author with a further “deep-dive” on the program’s underpinning technologies noting, “This education system is the world’s first, next-generation education and training platform based on VR/XR/CBT, which enables more diverse and realistic LNG-related professional training than the existing simulator-based training system. From the perspective of shipping companies that need to train a large number of LNG professionals in a short time, they will have the opportunity to train professional crew members who can reduce costs and increase work adaptability through a very efficient and effective training system.”

Samwoo Immersion is using the Epic Games’ Unreal Engine for its VR and image generator learning requirements – and with good reasons, as CEO Kim concluded, “By utilizing the Unreal game engine and VR technology, large-scale equipment is converted into virtual equipment, and the opportunity for training is expanded.”

Of further relevance to the quickening pace of “cross-pollination” among high-risk training organizations is the use of Unreal Engine beyond maritime learning https://www.halldale.com/articles/21818-mst-large-scale-digital-twins-as-s-and-t-disruptors and https://www.halldale.com/articles/21825-cat-taking-atc-training-to-new-levels.
