V-Step targets Philippines market
V-Step’s maritime simulators and training applications will be available in the Philippines market under a new strategic alliance with Poseidon Asia.
Poseidon Asia is the local office of Poseidon Simulation, which is part of the Poseidon Group with head office in the Lofoten Islands in Norway. The company specialises in the development of user-friendly and cost-effective PC-based maritime instrument simulators.
Under this agreement, V-Step’s NAUTIS maritime simulator solutions and virtual training software will be marketed to customers in the Philippines' maritime education and training sector, including maritime institutions, maritime training centres, and local ship management and crew manning companies.
NAUTIS provides simulator solutions and virtual training software for both civilian and naval military applications. Its DNV-certified simulators allow training in compliance with all known design criteria, class, and IMO requirements.
An official NAUTIS simulator demonstration centre will be opened in Manila to complement Poseidon Asia’s existing showroom and laboratory in Makati.
