Green hands on deck: Wärtsilä technology anchors Malaysia’s push for future-ready seafarers
A brand-new simulation suite supplied by Finnish technology group Wärtsilä for the Akademi Laut Malaysia (ALAM) maritime training institute has officially been inaugurated, seeking to foster a new generation of “highly skilled and proficient” seafaring professionals.

The integration of Wärtsilä’s technology, which took place on July 17, is expected to ‘significantly’ improve the level of maritime education for the region.
As disclosed, ALAM’s suite comprises a new dual-fuel simulator engineered by the Finland-based technology player, including the adoption of virtual reality (VR) elements, the goal of which is said to be the immersion of seafarers in ‘realistic’ training scenarios.
The technical simulators pertain to full-mission and multi-functional network classroom set-ups, both for engine-room and liquid cargo handling training. Moreover, the navigation simulators reportedly encompass a full-mission bridge, with 270-degree visualization, three-part task bridges fitted with dynamic positioning and extended reality (XR) training capabilities.
As informed, the suite additionally brings global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) and electronic chart display and information system simulators and a cloud-based simulation for blended learning experiences.
According to representatives from Wärtsilä, future sustainable fuels education programs for seafarers
