It can be used for specialized training for seafarers, pilots, icebreakers, tugboat crews, and other crew members involved in ice navigation.

Ice navigation and management simulator

Product Features

We are committed to providing simulators that better reflect ice navigation practices, using technology to drive training reform and enhance crew adaptability and decision-making during ice navigation. It offers the following features:

-Highly realistic ice environment simulation

* Supports dynamic evolution of various ice conditions: Simulates the physical properties of sea ice of varying thickness and shape, simulating the dynamic interactions of ice cracking, compression, and accumulation during ice navigation.

* Integration of extreme weather and sea conditions: Simulates polar conditions such as heavy snow and dense fog, combining the characteristics of ice reflecting radar echoes to achieve realistic rendering of ice radar clutter and target obstruction (such as iceberg shadows).

- Professional Icebreaking and Piloting Functions

* Icebreaking Operation Simulation: Simulates icebreaker operation modes such as "continuous icebreaking," "reverse icebreaking," and "turning icebreaking." Supports mechanical feedback such as bow pressure and ice resistance, reproducing the changes in the ship's posture during icebreaking.

- Multi-Dimensional Risk Assessment and Emergency Drills

* Ice Navigation Risk Warning: Real-time monitoring of collision stress between the ship and ice and the risk of propeller entanglement, providing audible and visual alarms and collision avoidance recommendations.

* Emergency Scenario Simulation: Configurable scenarios such as "ice rescue," "hull ice-induced stability imbalance," and "propulsion system failure" train crew members to activate emergency response plans.

- Full-Element Navigation Instrument Integration

* Ice-Specific Equipment Simulation: Simulates the operating logic of specialized equipment such as thrusters and ice plows, supports equipment fault settings, and enhances equipment management capabilities under complex operating conditions.

Product Development Support

Based on the aforementioned ice navigation capabilities, this product can be expanded to include the following:

-Polar Crew Training: Suitable for ice operation qualification training for crew members of icebreakers, polar research vessels, LNG carriers, and other vessels. This includes modules compliant with the STCW Convention, such as "Ice Ship Maneuvering," "Icebreaking Operations Command," and the "Polar Collision Regulations."

-Pilot Training: Simulates berthing and unberthing operations in confined waters such as narrow ice channels and ice anchorages, improving the ability to assess ice adhesion and inter-vessel effects.

-Port and Navigation Engineering Research: Optimizes polar port layout by simulating the impact of varying ice conditions on navigation efficiency.

-Smart Ship Verification: Supports testing of autonomous ice avoidance algorithms for polar unmanned vessels, verifying vessel maneuverability in ice using a six-degree-of-freedom motion model.

-Simulates emergencies such as ship entrapment and iceberg collisions to train multi-vessel coordinated rescue command processes, supporting collaboration with search and rescue helicopters and unmanned vessels.

FAQ

  • What are the main applications of Hefonix's simulator products?

    Hefonix simulator products cover multiple fields, including maritime education, maritime safety, military-civilian integration, and scientific research and verification. Core application scenarios include: 1.Crew Training and Assessment: These products meet IMO, STCW, and China Maritime Safety Administration standards, providing practical training in ship maneuvering, collision avoidance, and GMDSS communications (e.g., full-mission ship maneuvering simulators and GMDSS simulators). 2.Emergency Drills: These products simulate fires, groundings, and oil spills, supporting coordinated maritime search and rescue training (e.g., ship oil spill simulators and maritime self-rescue lifeboat simulators). 3.Civil-Military Integration: Their distributed architecture can be expanded to ship maneuvering and tactical coordination training for the Navy and Coast Guard (e.g., Navy Task Force Combat Operations Simulators and Naval Combat Training Simulators).
  • What are the core technical advantages of the Hefonix simulator?

    The Hefonix simulator focuses on "high-precision simulation + scenario-based training." Its technical advantages include: 1. High-precision mathematical model: The six-degree-of-freedom motion model covers complex hydrodynamic phenomena such as inter-vessel effects and shallow water effects, and supports simulation of propulsion devices such as fixed-pitch and variable-pitch propellers. 2. Web-based architecture and multi-device collaboration: Systems such as electronic charts and GMDSS are developed based on the web, supporting multi-device access from computers, tablets, and mobile phones, reducing site restrictions (e.g., unlimited-area electronic chart simulators and GMDSS simulators). 3. Immersive visuals and realistic interaction: The 3D visuals utilize realistic terrain textures and dynamic water effects, and ship navigation lights and types comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions (COLREGs). Hardware operating logic is consistent with that of a real ship (e.g., the control panel of the ship radar/ARPA simulator provides the same operational feedback as the actual ship equipment). 4. Multi-system integration and fault simulation: Integrates radar, electronic charts, GMDSS, and other equipment to support simulation of complex scenarios such as co-frequency interference and sensor failures, enhancing emergency response capabilities (for example, the full-mission engine room simulator can simulate faults such as main engine overheating and fuel system leaks).
