The Full Mission Engine Room Simulator (FMERS) is a cutting edge, turnkey solution suitable for training Marine
Engineers at Watch keeping, Operational and Management levels.
It enables a realistic and accurate simulation of the Engine Room, comprising a Main Engine Control Room, Main
Switch Board, and simulated machinery space including a mimic pipeline panel, and local operating stations.
The FMERS simulates the MAN B& W 6S60MC 6 cylinder, 2 stroke, reversible, slow speed marine diesel main
engine of firing order 1,5,3,4,2,6 which is directly coupled to a fixed pitch propeller and all the auxiliary systems that
accompany such an installation in main engine room of a tanker.

Features |
|
The Software is based on realistic and rigorous mathematical
models, and the Hardware creates a realistic engine room
environment with a large number of real dials,
gauges, controls, indicators and switches. The ARI FMERS
can be used in stand-alone mode (with instructor acting
as the bridge control) or coupled to a Bridge simulator
for interactive training. |
Other salient features of simulator training space and instructor function are as under: |
- Mimic pipeline panel – incorporated in both hardware and software
- All pump and pipeline models take into account fluid characteristics
- Warming-up procedure for steam machinery
- External conditions that affect main engine and machinery performance can be simulated
- Full control over the simulation environment for instructor
- Data/Event Record & Replay in real- time/accelerated mode
- Exercise designer
- Generation of errors in trainee work space, A library of over 500 readily injectable faults are available in the instructor station.
- Flexibility and ease of use enables injection of specific faults or change in default values
