GlobalSim Building Full Mission Crane Simulators for West Gulf Maritime Association
GlobalSim is pleased to announce it has contracted with the West Gulf Maritime Association (WGMA) to develop two new Full Mission crane simulators. One of the systems will be used at the WGMA training center in Houston, while another will be delivered to New Orleans, Louisiana. These simulators will be used to train crane operators on Ship-to-Shore Cranes, Rubber-Tired Gantry Cranes, and Ship Pedestal Cranes.
Both new simulators will feature custom designed software arenas to simulate various port environments in Houston, New Orleans, Gulfport, and Tampa. In total, WGMA will operate a total of 4 Full Mission crane simulators to train operators in Houston and throughout several states in the gulf region.
“WGMA has proven to be a real leader in training” remarks GlobalSim Vice President, Brad Ball. “These new simulators coincide with a recent upgrade to their existing simulators. All of them will feature custom environments and port scenes that precisely mimic the real views at each location.”
GlobalSim and WGMA contracted for the new simulators in spring 2024. The systems are currently in development and testing at GlobalSim headquarters and will be on display during the upcoming GlobalSim conference. Final testing and installation will occur onsite in fall 2024.
