Applied Research International based in New Delhi India, has been developing and manufacturing training simulators for over a decade now. A large number of simulators including the Full Mission Ship Manoeuvring Simulator, Full Mission engine Room Simulator, Radar/ARPA Simulator, Blind Navigation Simulator, Engine Combustion Simulator etc. have been type-approved by the Directorate General of Shipping, Government of india, the guidelines of which have been drawn from the standards of STCW, IMO and Classification Societies.
These simulators are used for training of personnel in a large number of training programs according to STCW'95 and IMO prescribed courses. These integrated training solutions have also been used by Oil Majors and giants like Shell, Petronet and others for complex training scenarios such as pilotage and berthing.
ARI training simulators have been used by trainees of various nationalities worldwide and are in widespread use by training institutions, shipping companies, navy, navel establishments and ports. The simulators are designed, built and installed according to internationally accepted standards and can be regarded as powerful tools for training to STCW standards.
Applied Research International also conducts strong 'Train the Trainer' programs which can help the user to extract maximum benefit from the use of simulators.
I wish them best of luck in every endeavor in this field.

This note has refeence to the Pilot training program recently conducted by Applied Research International on behalf of Hazira Port Private Limited. The Hazira Port Private Limited is a joint Venture between Shell Gas B. V. and Total Gaz Electricite Holdings, France.
HPPL is developing an all-weather, multi-cargo, deep water port in Hazira, Surat, State of Gujarat and the first stage is development of a modern state-of-the-art LNG re-gasification terminal. Being a completely dredged 'man made' port, this place offers considerable navigational challenges in term of currents, depths and maneuvering space. It was imperative for HPPL to ensure that their pilots and tug handlers are provided with the best possible familiarisation and training facilities before given the onerous task of bringing in an unfamiliar ship into an unfamiliar basin.
HPPL scouted the world for a suitable simulator and finally chose ARI because of their presence in India, the fact that the development of a 360-degree simulator was already on the drawing board, the considerable skill, knowledge and experience in field of specialised trainings and the proven track record of delivering on time. The contract between HPPL and ARI allowed ARI only six month to built and test a 360-degree simulator.
We are extremely glad to have taken that decision. ARI did an excellent job of recreating the entire file port and our staff got a very good opportunity to practice their skills on a 360 deg Integrated file environment. Further as it was a combined Pilot and tug handlers training program, HPPL also got an opportunity to verify a number of its internal processes. If the simulator had been anywhere outside of India, it would have been very difficult to get all staff at the simulator at the same time.
The value of the training was fully realised when the vessel 'Gemmata' from shell berthed at the terminal on the morning of 17th April 2005. The vessel behaved extermely closely to the simulated vessel and certainly made our job as pilot that much easier!
ARI is in a unique position to offer the best combination of people, facilities and technology and we would unhesitatingly recommend their brand of simulators and training facilites for anyone whose requirements are as complex and demanding as ours are.
Congratulations on a great job done!!

On behalf of NSICT, this is to acknowledge your invaluable contribution to the design, development and commissioning India’s first Advanced Gantry Crane Simulator.
The requirements were fulfilled and the deadlines maintained culminating in a training tool that is far superior to any other in the market today.
The high level of professionalism and dedication of you and your team needs to be commended. The superb combination of software and hardware that go to make the whole product has been blended extremely well to simulate the “real thing” and thus raise the safety and training standards in Port Management.
We are confident that this product will benefit Container Ports not only in Asia but globally as well. Congratulations for a job very well done. |

This is to confirm that Anglo Eastern Maritime Training Center has been using the Full Mission Engine Room Simulator and the Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator developed by Applied Research International for many years now for training of seagoing and staff of all ranks.
The Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator Depicts all the processes involved in the carriage of potentially hazardous loquids in bulk. The simulator accurately simulates loading, discharging, tank washing, inerting, gas freeing, purging, cooling, and many other processes involved in the handling of a large variety of liquid cargoes- petroleum cargoes, chemical cargoes, refrigerated and pressurized gases including petroleum, chemical and natural gases. All models are based on real ocean going tankers of various types such as crude oil tanker, product tanker, chemical tanker, LNG tanker, LPG tankers etc.
The high quality of mathematical modeling, layout and ease of use makes the simulator a very valuable training tool.
Anglo Eastern Ship Management owns and manages over 150 vessels and has trained more than 10.000 seafarers of varied ranks, nationality and companies worldwide. |

When we set out with the installation of ARI-Full Mission simulators (Ship maneuvering and Engine), we had made a schedule of the project that gave us hardly any leeway in the deadlines, but as our interaction with the ARI project team increased day-by-day, we found that they were capable of not only delivering the product in time but if required (to be read pushed) even ahead of it (we completed 10 days before schedule). We had excellent cooperation from the project engineers with daily updates and schedules. We learnt that it was not a few individuals in the project rather a whole team who were clear in their targets and goals towards ensuring that the simulators were up and every small detail was taken care of.
On Completion of the project, as we started the use of the simulators, we found that whenever we required help to enhance the use of simulators by adding additional fault scenarios, we had a prompt response and easy updates without much costs involved.
On the whole I must say that it was not just that we had a great product for training by way of simulators, but an association with ARI that has been growing day by day, catering to our training needs whenever required and of international standards. |
