Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator
The LCHS is undoubtedly one of the most significant training aids for a seafarer. The LCHS installed at SIMS simulates the processes and systems used in a vast range of operations ranging from routine cargo work to emergencies with a catastrophic potential. It is a PC-based version, which consists of an instructor’s station and three trainee stations with the potential of adding three more trainee stations in future. The trainee stations can either carry out independent operations or be a part of a single ship where they can practice the communication and coordination required on a real ship.
FRAMO
The 5m x 4m x 3m tank is fitted with a Framo cargo pump SD 125 with hydraulic power pack as well as portable Framo pump SD 80 with hydraulic pipes and winch from Frank Mohn AS, Norway. Stainless steel pipelines, level gauges, high level alarms, heating coils, pressure vacuum valves etc have also been fitted. The tank was designed and manufactured under strict guidance from the Fukuoka shipyard in Japan. To give a real life function, it has an added utility to fill in and empty fresh water into the tank.

TANK ROOM
