NYK reveals software for LNG carrier training
Two subsidiaries of Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha [TYO:9101] (NYK Line) say they have developed onboard training software for the crews of liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers.
The LNG-Shipboard Training and Assessment Recording System (LNG-STARS) uses computer-generated images to explain special cargo-handling operations and other aspects of managing cargo on LNG carriers, which cannot be seen firsthand.
Officers and engineers can use the software, which includes tests to asses understanding, on land or onboard, helping trainees gain the skills to prevent accidents and problems.
