VSTEP announces an official distribution and training partnership with Centro de Investigación y Entrenamiento Marítimo y Fluvial (CIEMF) a training business unit of Servicio Integral de Prácticos S.A. (SIPSA) in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Last year, CIEMF was the first customer in Latin America to implement the NAUTIS maritime simulation software on its Full Mission Bridge Simulator. Today, CIEMF becomes VSTEP’s first Latin American training partner, using its high-end simulator to train maritime professionals across Latin America.
Latin America is a region experiencing rapid economic growth and looking to innovative solutions to maintain its impressive rate of growth. With focus on highly realistic yet cost effective solutions, the VSTEP simulators are a perfect fit in the region. CIEMF is a pioneer in the use of this innovative technology. In the time ahead, it will become a pinnacle player in helping others adopt these innovative simulator solutions throughout the continent.
Expanding and consolidating its position in Latin America, VSTEP continues to form high profile partnerships with leading training, education and sales partners. In the past year, VSTEP has expanded its international sales network by opening its own offices in the USA and the UK and forging partnerships across Europe, North America, South East Asia and Latin America.
VSTEP VP Business Development, Capt Mark Woolley, US Navy ret: “The real value of maritime simulators lies in the experience of the instructors, who are able to create a superior learning environment for students. CIEMF is a highly experienced maritime training provider. Its decision to use Nautis simulation software is a sign of the powerful benefits this new generation of simulation technology can bring, in the hands of experienced instructors. We are working closely with CIEMF to further develop the simulation software to meet their expectations. CIEMF’s experience in this process is invaluable.”
SIPSA/CIEMF CTO, Alberto Secchi: “NAUTIS was our first choice for maritime simulation training. It allows for realistic simulation of sailing maneuvers, docking, mooring to buoys, use of ropes and tugs, all sorts of failures and events, and different hydro meteorological and visibility conditions, daytime with good and bad visibility and nighttime. It allows for recording of maneuvers that are carried out so we can extract the respective technical conclusions through a very detailed analysis.”
The Centro de Investigación y Entrenamiento Marítimo y Fluvial (CIEMF) is located in the heart of Buenos Aires, Argentina. For more information about NAUTIS simulator training, contact CIEMF at ciemf@vstepsimulation.com or visit the CIEMF site at https://www.ciemf.com.ar
