INTERSCHALT Maritime Education & Training (MET)
Your safety is our mission!
Due to the rapid growth of the maritime industry the demand for highly
trained specialists to operate all kinds of vessels around the world is still
going strong. About 70,000 ocean going ships and more than 2,200 new
ships built annually need to be manned properly according to the international rules and regulations. To guarantee the necessary skills for officers
and crews is one of the biggest challenges of ship operating companies
around the world. The INTERSCHALT MET is providing the required training to meet such educational demands. The heart of the INTERSCHALT
MET is a full mission simulation center, which comprises ship handling and
engine room simulator and fully equipped IT-class and seminar rooms.
Furthermore all INTERSCHALT products will be on hand for training as well
such as:
• Electrical engineering and automation systems
• Voyage Data Recorders (VDR)
• Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS)
• The entire product portfolio of INTERSCHALT Software Solutions

Dear customers and friends,
All of us at INTERSCHALT are proud
that our Maritime Education & Training Center MET is in operation since
September 2007. We had several
hundred candidates who successfully
completed a variety of courses. During that period of time we also added
new components and trainings to
our portfolio. A large number of well
known shipping companies count to
our customers and together we contribute to an increase of safety on the
open sea.
In late summer 2008 we put our
newly developed engine control room
into operation. With that facility we
are now able to conduct combined
courses for nautical and technical
license holders together exercising
“Ship Team Management”.
In addition we now also offer general
courses like “Maritime Basic Knowledge” and “Basic Ship Technology”
for a variety of shore based specialists without a maritime background.
It is our pleasure to welcome you and
your team at MET attending our training.
We look forward to meet with you in
Schenefeld.
Sincerely yours,
Robert Gärtner

Preface
Operating new containership designs of sizes over 10.000
TEU is a challenge, even for experienced mariners. Manoeuvring characteristics, behaviour and movements of
floating objects of such sizes can not simply be referenced
linearly to existing vessels. For safe handling and operating these vessels extensive preparation and training is
necessary and essential. Theoretical hydrodynamic basics
have to be transferred in applicable and practical knowledge to support captains, pilots and officers in decision
making and shiphandling skills. Exercising these skills in
extreme, uncommon but realistic scenarios is of eminent
importance and exclusively practicable in a simulator.

Preface
High fuel oil prices increasingly drew the attention on fuel efficiency of seagoing vessels in the last decade. As a module
integrated in the loading computer system MACS3, TROP is
a comprehensive tool to reduce fuel consumption and CO2
emissions by means of intelligent ballast water and/or cargo
distribution.
TROP is based on computational simulations setting the
vessel’s speed, draft and trim in relation to fuel consumption.
Objectives
Basic skills: evaluation of the current vessel condition with
respect to fuel efficiency and development of a ballast distribution to reduce fuel consumption.
Advanced skills: considering fuel efficiency while planning,
e.g. container cargo.
