TRANSAS ASD TUG SIMULATOR
Transas, in conjunction with Seaways Ltd, have developed the advanced
ASD tug simulator capable of training a range of functions. From basic
tug handling manoeuvres for trainees to advanced towing methods for
tug masters (such as in-direct towing), any operation can be simulated.
Training Goals
Transas ASD tug simulator has been designed by tug masters and for tug
masters to provide high fidelity and cost-effective training in complex
and risky operations. The simulator is the perfect tool for training in:
• ship assist work
• high speed escort work, and
• integrated tug master and pilot training.
Project innovations
3D
For better immersion in the training, Transas has made its tug simulator
3D so that trainees can accurately judge distances on a 2D screen. This
covers depth perception, one of the key training requirements of tug
masters when operating in close proximity to large vessels under tow.

Full mission
A key advantage of this tug simulator is the improved built-in tug bridge
hydrodynamic modelling and interaction capabilities of the tug with its
tow. Transas software developers collaborated closely with tug masters
to replicate the exact characteristics felt during tug manoeuvres. This
advanced capability allows the operator to acquire the necessary skills

To familiarise and practise basic operations, a simplified desktop
configuration can be used.
Full mission simulator
In tug simulation, the requirements for visualisation and hardware are
higher than those of conventional ship operations. Thus, additional
features such as vertical angle of view, rear view visualisation and
dedicated hardware should be considered for a tug full mission bridge.
Joint training
As the simulator is built on the Transas NTPRO simulator platform, the
instructor can operate multiple tug training stations in one scenario.
This flexibility provides the simulator with more advanced training
capabilities where multiple tug operations can be conducted for large
vessels or even rig moves with a rig master co-ordinating. The addition
of a Full Mission Bridge simulator to these training scenarios allows the

configuration then can be used for advanced pilot training, whereby bridge
a pilot can be trained in tug placement, control, communications and
operations.
