A Transas Offshore and Dynamic Positioning simulator has been installed at PanArab E-Navigation (PAEN) in Alexandria, Egypt. PanArab E-Nav is a player in the marine and offshore training in the entire region.

Transas Offshore and DP training solution is based on  the navigational simulator platform Navi-Trainer Professional 5000 (Transas NTPRO 5000). The installation consists of an Offshore bridge, reproducing a modern Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel bridge. It includes key elements such as NAVIS DP2 system, Transas Multifunctional Display, physical controls for all thrusters, winches, pins and shark jaws system together with a state-of-the-art Seagull 6000 visual system.

The simulator complies with the requirements identified for the offshore training. PanArab E-Navigation is also accredited by The Nautical Institute for Dynamic position training.
