Established
in 1986 as Sri Lanka’s first privately-owned maritime training school, MSTI
Maritime Academy today holds a prestigious legacy of over three decades in
producing world-class seafarers. With state-of-the-art training facilities
located in Dehiwala, Katukurunda, and Kalutara, and a faculty comprised of
veteran Master Mariners and Chief Engineers, MSTI has succeeded in opening new
dimensions in high-quality maritime education for the industry.
Marking
another significant milestone in its 30-year journey of excellence, MSTI
Maritime Academy recently inaugurated an ultra-modern and comprehensive Full
Mission Bridge Simulator. This is recognized as the most advanced ship handling
simulator currently available in Sri Lanka.
The occasion
was graced by the Hon. Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku, Deputy Minister of Ports and
Civil Aviation, as the Chief Guest. The event was also attended by Captain
Ajith Peiris, Chairman of MSTI, alongside senior officials from the maritime
and port sectors, industry partners, maritime professionals, educators, and
media representatives.
Manufactured
by Wärtsilä-NTPro, a global leader in maritime simulation technology, this new
simulator features a 360-degree control bridge, advanced ship handling systems,
and communication consoles. Furthermore, it includes specialized modules for
tug-handling and related operations.
By
supporting competencies compliant with STCW (Standards of Training,
Certification, and Watchkeeping), this simulator enhances training at both
operational and management levels. It is vital for training in global
navigation scenarios, emergency response, and crisis management. This latest
introduction underscores MSTI’s commitment to providing international-standard
maritime training and strengthening Sri Lanka's position within regional
maritime education.
