Coxswains and crews train in real weather and real emergencies — without putting a vessel or a trainee at risk. GMTS supplies and commissions Virtual Marine simulation for SAR, navy, coastguard, pilots and training providers.
What we supply
FRC simulators — real helm hardware and force-feedback so coxswain muscle memory transfers to the boat
Embedded bridge — Quest Architecture suites with GPS, AIS, gyro and echo for full-bridge practice
Desktop trainers — classroom and shore-based stations for theory and assessment
Ice-management and defence scenarios — when the brief needs polar or military packs
Who it is for
Search and rescue, coastguard and marine police
Navy and defence training establishments
Pilotage authorities and harbour masters
Commercial fleets and shipyards running formal crew competency
Training providers who need repeatable, assessable scenarios
How we deliver
Site and training-need brief — space, power, network and syllabus
Scenario build matched to your waters and vessel class
Install or embed in OEM consoles; commission with the same team that does vessel WAN
Crew handover plus ongoing scenario packs and support
Why simulate
Cost of boat hours — burn fuel and crew time on the scenarios that matter, not dead water
Safe repeat — crash the boat, lose steering, lose visibility — then do it again
Competency — prove a coxswain can handle the worst night before they meet it at sea
Assessment — instructors see the same scenario, same metrics, every trainee

Virtual Marine
Crew trainers sized to vessel class and training outcomes.
Virtual Marine FRC simulators with real helm hardware, embedded bridge suites, desktop trainers and ice-management or defence scenario packs when the brief needs them.
Does simulation replace sea time?
No. It complements sea time — safe repetition of emergencies and assessments you cannot schedule on the water.
Can scenarios match our waters?
Yes. We build scenarios from your training need, vessel class and operating area, then hand over packs instructors can extend.
Who supports updates after install?
GMTS commissions the suite and stays the escalation path for hardware and network. Scenario content updates follow the training agreement.
