The tool uses VR technology developed by Tsumiki Seisaku and replicate training scenarios and work tasks. With the seafarer wearing VR goggles it means that the training can be carried out at any location be it onboard the vessel, in the office or in a training centre.
Initially training will focus on preventing accident falls which MOL said were a major cause of injuries, and later expanded to other areas and more vessels.
“This tool will increase seafarers’ safety awareness and contribute to the elimination of onboard industrial accidents caused by unsafe behaviour in actual operation by using VR technology and defining safety measures,” MOL said.
