Maneuvering ships are complex operations with high-risk involved. Just like nautical projects, they need to be simulated on training centers before approved.

In a scenario of growing ships and limited waterways, state-of-the-art technology is essential to safely increase ports efficiency.

That is why Brazilian Pilotage brought the most modern bridge simulator next to the maritime regulatory entities.

Located a few minutes from government agencies, in the brazilian capital, our training center offers realistic simulation with all type of vessels in any brazilian port.

We use the same model adopted in The Numerical Offshore Tank of the University of São Paulo, an international reference and our partner in this project.

The video was found on some social media channels in June 2020. When so many elementary mistakes are made and so many risks are taken, this is exactly what can happen! It's a demonstrative example of an unprofessional action: 1) Where is the life jacket? 2) No backpack on the shoulders. Use a rope to have the backpack lifted by the deck crew. 3) Where is the rest of the crew (on vessel / on the small boat) for safe assistance? What other mistakes have you discovered? We do not put videos...
