Pilot session 1
18 March 2025
The first pilot session took place on the 18th of March in the maritime simulators at SAMK in Rauma.
During the sessions, pilot candidates were first presented with several voyage planning scenarios to familiarize themselves with the new standard. They then moved on to hands-on testing in the maritime simulators, facing real-world challenges such as navigating around a capsized vessel on fire and maneuvering through a narrow harbor passage alongside a large freight vessel to reach the inner harbor.
The session was guided by Antti Värre from SAMK and Robert Rylander from Rise
