I leaded a navigation study on post-panamax ships (loa 335m x beam 42m) which included training on full motion simulators in HR Wallingford (UK) and on training simulators at MITAGS (Baltimore, USA), this was for all the pilots of San Antonio, this was rigorously supervised by the Maritime Authority (Chilean Navy), allowing that with applied technology and by changing the way of operation with the ASD/Tractor Tug equiped with dynamic winch it is possible to operate securely with post-panamax ships at STI. This proved me that with applied technology on any training process objectives are achieved succesfuly due to the presence of motivation and self-challenging mood.
