for Seafarers with the Manila Amendments of 2010 [10]. The STCW Convention
defines the operational requirements for a number of simulators that are used in the
process of developing the professional competencies of future marine specialists, and
for the first time in international regulatory practice the assessment of professional
competencies by simulators has been introduced. The normative document defines the
operational requirements for a number of simulators and for the first time in the
international normative practice training and assessment of competencies with
simulators has been introduced.
World practice shows that in connection with the development of digital
technologies, designing and creating software products is the most effective tools of
professional training of ship navigators, which are simulators of the modern
generation using virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR). Such simulators allow
to bring the training conditions to the conditions of the reality for the ship navigators
when navigating the vessel, and navigational simulators to a large extent ensure
fulfillment of psychological and didactic requirements to the process of skills and
abilities formation.
1.2 Theoretical background
In the context of our research, we analyzed the current vision of the role and place of
VR simulators in the professional scientific discourse from the standpoint of taking
into account the specifics of the subject field of professional activity of future marine
specialists.
VR simulators are quite widely used in the training of students of maritime
professions all over the world. Ukraine has no deep experience in the use of
simulation technologies in the higher maritime education system, and therefore the
approval in 2018 of a new standard of higher maritime education for the first
(Bachelor level), aimed at developing competencies of the XXI century [10] has set
the benchmarks for changing the educational paradigm for optimization and practical
training process, integration of training in the educational process in order to
effectively form the professional competencies of future marine specialists.
Among the works devoted to training and practical training of cadets in marine
schools should be identified works of Asghar Ali [1], Djelloul Bouras [6] , Olle
Lindmark [15], Charlott Sellberg [30].
Olle Lindmark, studying simulators in maritime education, noted that in 1994, the
IMO created a simulator working group that was created to structure training
information for inclusion in the STCW, and this group identified the simulation as
“realistic simulation”, in real time, any handling of a ship, radar and navigation,
propellant, cargo/ballast or other ship system, including an interface suitable for
interactive use by a student or candidate both within and outside the operating
environment. Higher, and compliance with the standards set out in the relevant
sections of this section of the STCW Code [15].
Yaser H. Sendi classifies simulators on real, virtual and constructive, and
determines that the constructive ones contain a virtual reality and is the highest level
52
of complexity of simulators for the formation of professional competencies and their
evaluation [31].
Constructive simulators – held in a virtual reality environment, it is considered a
very complex level of simulators for the purposes of allowing instructors (i.e.
captains) to analyze the performance of apprentices and evaluate their master of skills
after using the simulation.
VR simulation technologies are new forms of professional competence
development for marine specialists who, through the creation of quasi-professional
situations, can form professional thinking and develop the necessary skills without
risk to life and save time and resources. But it should be borne in mind that in most
marine higher educational establishments of Ukraine, traditional approaches to
teaching still prevail, therefore, a promising direction for improving the educational
process in maritime institutions of higher education is the creation of simulation
(training) centers in order to systematically approach the formation of professional
competencies.
In the NMC Horizon project, VR technologies are part of the promising direction
of the tools and processes of visual imaging technology that are used to combine the
efforts of the brain’s ability to quickly process visual information and to find order in
difficult situations. Visualization technologies are used to improve teaching, learning,
creative search and have a great prospect of use and effectiveness in the future [23]
Introduction of the concept of “Virtual University”, which represents the use of
modern development platforms virtual reality, takes place in the experimental process
by industry in many authoritative implementations such as Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Yale University, Lund University, IBM, Microsoft.
Submitted by various researchers, the generalized results of the use of simulators
with VR in the systems of training specialists of different directions can make a
reasonable opinion on the feasibility of using VR technology in the system of training
future mariners, taking into account the peculiarities of the organization of
educational process in higher maritime educational institutions and the specifics of
professional maritime activity sailors merchant fleet.
1.3 The objective of the study
The purpose of the article is to substantiate the essence of simulation technologies of
the VR used in the process of training of marine specialists, and to determine the
specifics of the application of simulation technologies of VR in the formation of
professional competencies of future marine specialists.
2 Results and discussion
The use of e-learning is based on and used in the learning process of virtual
environments [5; 18; 24], complemented by the reality of computer simulations,
virtual 3D worlds with the effect of immersion. According to the numerous studies
53
[11; 12; 14; 19; 25; 35; 44], the virtual environment is a quality educational tool, and
the task of the teacher is to reorient modern virtual technologies to learning.
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) represent a new direction in the
development of information technology. VR and AR are two closely related
technologies that have certain differences.
VR is a similitude of the real world created by technical tools in digital form. The
created effects through the projection onto the human eyes and cause the feeling that
they are as close as possible to the real ones.
VR allows users to immerse themselves in the world created by the computer, and
get the sensory experience there. Augmented reality (AR) is an image that is imposed
on objects of the real world. Augmented reality is characterized by the inclusion of
digital information (images, video and audio) in real space, trying to combine reality
with the virtual environment, allowing users to interact with both physical and digital
objects [7; 9; 13; 16; 17; 21; 22; 26; 28; 32; 33; 36; 39; 41; 45].
Consumer Technology Association at CTA-2069 standard highlights the mixed
reality (MR), a seamless combination of the real environment and digital content,
where both environment exists to create experience [27].
Virtual technologies for educational purposes began to be used as early as in the
1960s as airplane simulators [38], and in the 80s, in the form of systems for dialogue
management with machine-generating images [42].
The most common means of immersion in VR are specialized helmets / glasses, the
display of which outputs 3D video, and the sensors capture the head turns and change
the image on the display.
From the point of view of cybernetics, the essence of virtual reality is reduced to
the following characteristics: 1) creating means of programming three-dimensional
images of objects that are as close as possible to real, models of real objects, like
holographic; 2) the possibility of animation; 3) network data processing, which occurs
in real time; 4) creation of means of programming of the effect of presence [29].
Today, using a web browser or smartphone, it’s possible to switch from the
Amazon to the library (Google), to your personal space (Facebook). There are virtual
spaces for meetings (Skype) and even game arenas (Steam Valve) as teleportation in
the digital sense. But none of these services will be able to simulate the real world due
to limitations of 2D screens.
Many VR technologies are just 360-videos, which format provides a sense of
presence: the one who browses himself chooses, where to look, exploring the space,
and is an active participant in everything that’s happening. Immersion is achieved
even in the absence of a screen frame, through which so everyone is accustomed to
watch the news, reality show. Video review of VR requires photorealistic and real-
time environments to create unity with the browser and presence phenomenon and
joining the situation.
There are many classifications of virtual simulators using a variety of criteria, such
as the degree of realism, hardware, the scale of the virtual space that is being created.
The advantages of virtual simulators are:
54
the possibility of creating a safe for the student working space in which he can
work out various skills without risk for his life;
the creation of an educational space, built on the needs of those who study;
the possibility of repeated repetition to achieve automatism;
compatible scenarios and actions;
the possibility of immersion in a situation in which it is necessary to quickly make
decisions and act [37].
Also, the advantages of using simulators and virtual simulators include the possibility
of using them for both individual work of the student and for organization of group
training.
For the first time simulations and virtual simulators began to be used in medicine.
A virtual simulator is a modern learning tool that provides a clear idea of the object
of the research and work with it without direct contact with the object [30].
A virtual simulator can be defined as an interactive component of e-learning to
study and consolidate a variety of practical skills when working with real objects in
the subject area.
There are three types of VR simulators:
1. Those which teach (electronic textbooks).
2. Those which control (testing systems).
3. Those which teach skills (multimedia and / or animated simulators of reality with
subjects of the subject area).
The first simulators were similar to computer classes, where simulation of situations
took place, but the lack of them was an unnatural presentation of objects. Ideal
simulators are those that combine (“mix”) the real and virtual world and where the
visual series is almost entirely true reality. These simulators completely allow you to
work out scenarios of real professional situations in a completely realistic three-
dimensional space.
Virtual simulators can be used primarily where it is necessary to work out the
sequence of actions, as well as the formation of sustainable skills for the prevention
and elimination of emergencies, accidents.
The virtual training complex significantly reduces the operating load on a real
object (vessel element), reduces the probability of errors, increases the inter-repair
resource. The main advantage of virtual simulators is that for a minimum amount of
time the student receives a maximum of practical experience.
In the traditional scheme of training, students receive profound knowledge only
from individual disciplines, and combining this knowledge in practice is given the
opportunity only after several years of work as a responsible decision-maker, virtual
simulators give the opportunity to feel like a person directly in the learning process of
certain scenarios [8].
There is a phenomenon of kinetheus in the VR – the indicators of the vestibular
apparatus and organs of sensation are different, because a person sees movement, but
the body remains at rest. The brain perceives visual information as hallucination,
which may be felt by poisoning, and nausea occurs. Similar feelings also exist when
55
creating the effect of staying at sea. The effect of the sea sickness is very similar to
the real feelings, getting used to it can even help future carriers in future work
An important element in achieving the effect of a psychological presence is theory
of embodied cognition [40], which explains the fact that people are better at
perceiving information when acting, rather than when they are watching what others
do or listening to or reading about it [4].
That is, in fact, the main purpose of the use of VR simulators is to provide the new
quality of professional training of future specialists by immersing the students in the
real atmosphere of solving quasi-professional tasks, optimal for the formation of
professional competencies and personal qualities of future professionals in conditions
that are as close as possible to the conditions of future professional activity.
For the first time marine simulators were used in Sweden in 1967 (Goteborg) with
a research purpose to analyze the prediction of the behavior of the crew [6].
Today, the traditional training of sailors has changed the emphasis on practical
orientation and the use of simulators for the formation of professional competencies
without the need to be on the vessel [43].
Simulation technology in a navigational system is a modern technology of training,
assessment of practical knowledge, skills based on the use of computer models of
navigation processes that are as close as possible to the conditions, simulation of
communication interaction in specific situations.
The pedagogical advantage of using simulators in maritime education is that it is
possible to develop such scenarios or exercises that are designed to study and evaluate
specific learning outcomes [30].
The use of training technology in the educational process allows you to work out
the interaction of the crew with each other and with other participants in the
navigation; to simulate emergency and crisis situations; to check psychological
readiness of cadets for actions in extreme conditions; reduce the risk of making wrong
decisions, etc. [2].
Charlott Sellberg [30] in her doctoral thesis experimentally proves that work on
simulators meets the requirements of STCW, and all training in these simulators
contributes to the formation of professional competencies of marine specialists.
Kherson State Maritime Academy has the experience of implementing the model
of a competent approach to training according to the program of experimental activity
on the topic “Theoretical and methodical principles of implementation of the
competence approach in the system of graduation of maritime industry specialists
training” in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of
Ukraine No. 1148 dated October 7, 2014.
In order to systematically approach the development of professional competencies
of marine specialists and through the support of partner companies and central and
local authorities, a training complex (simulation center) was opened in October 2016,
which included 19 laboratories, 16 simulators and 21 training room.
All these laboratories, training bases and complexes were combined into a single
training complex, which was named “Virtual-Real Ship”. Several dozen cadets have
the opportunity to simultaneously undergo training on such a vessel, and the
56
preparation itself is carried out not only in conditions that are as close as possible to
the real, but also in the conditions of direct bearing of the ship’s watch.
KSMA “Virtual-Real Ship” is a separate structural innovation unit in the education
system – a full-fledged simulation vessel – combining educational continuity between
the pre-practical and practical stages of training and is a powerful tool for building the
professional competencies of future marine specialists. Thus, in the center, the
development and implementation of methodological and normative provision of the
educational process, the formation of an individual educational trajectory,
standardization of criteria for assessing knowledge, skills, competencies, and high-
tech emergency response standards that meet the requirements of the STCW are being
developed.
All simulators meet the requirements of international and national standards and
regulations (including STCW, SOLAS, IMO model courses), as well as certificates of
leading classification societies. They provide effective training and assessment of
professional competencies of the cadet, which corresponds to the concept of
evidence-based competence in the marine industry in accordance with the
requirements of the STCW.
Educational training on “Virtual-Real Ship” is carried out in two directions:
─ professional training with the priority of special professional knowledge;
─ sequence of actions and group training with an emphasis on the human factor-
coordination of teamwork and resource management in crisis situations.
In the educational process of the KSMA simulation complexes, VR simulators are
used, on the basis of which educational programs are implemented. The appropriate
platform, thanks to realistic interactive scenarios and opportunities for immersion,
provides the following capabilities: acquisition of knowledge and skills with
sophisticated techniques, gaining knowledge about reducing the probability of
occurrence of extraordinary situations, getting experience of troubleshooting and
restoring normal working conditions in the event of an emergency situation.
The purpose of training in VR simulators is:
1. Acquisition, improvement and practical use of the acquired skills of navigation
2. Formation of professional thinking, reflection of their activities.
3. Practical understanding of their role in the team.
So, in the KSMA there are two laboratories with VR simulators (Fig. 1):
Full-function navigational bridge;
Full-function simulator of a vessel with a dynamic positioning system.
The scheme (Fig. 2) defines professional competencies according to the STCW,
which are formed in these laboratories.
Teachers of special professional disciplines develop exercises on simulators that
must be performed by students in accordance with the program of discipline and
define their goals according to the general objectives of the training defined for the
particular discipline. Training objectives, simulators, tasks and evaluation criteria are
57
described and defined in accordance with the requirements of the STCW [10]. Before
approving by the corresponding heads of the department, exercises on the simulators
are tested by instructors in order to ensure that they are consistent with the objectives
of training. Instructors familiarize students with a simulator before undertaking any
exercise, including goals, tasks to be performed, assessment criteria, and arrange a
discussion session after completing the exercise, in which the instructor and students
discussed the exercise and its outcome. During the exercise on the simulator, the
instructors evaluate students’ activities [34].

Training laboratory “Full-function navigational bridge” is equipped with a simulation
of the navigating vessel with a circular visualization of the navigational environment
with an angle of the visible horizon of 210 degrees horizontally and 35 degrees
vertically, a simulator of the integrated navigation system with two ARPA stations,
two ECDIS stations, software and hardware controls a vessel, a sound simulation
system, means for controlling and monitoring a marine propulsion system, an
imitation of a maritime system. The training laboratory “Full-function navigational
bridge” meets the requirements for the A1-grade classes in the DNV/IMO
classification.
The algorithm of the simulator though similar to modern computer games, which
consist of passing of missions (tasks), but unlike them, there are no levels of
complexity – the simulation always occurs in the mode of maximum realism.
The purpose and tasks of training on this simulator, as defined in the model course
1.22, is to gain experience in working with ships in different conditions and to make a
more efficient contribution to the bridge crew when maneuvering ships in normal and
emergency situations.
In particular, the aim of the course is to acquire the following competencies:
familiarization with the use of engines and steering for maneuvering vessels;
understanding of the effects of wind on vessel behavior, shallow water flow,
shallow, narrow channels, and loading conditions;
a deeper understanding of the importance of planning a transition or maneuver and
the need for an alternative plan;
a deeper understanding and awareness of the effective procedure for bridge and
crew work during the navigational watch, in normal and emergency situations;
a deeper understanding and understanding of high-quality interactive
communication and the benefits of creating a common mental model for a planned
transition.
The results of training are written in specific skills, which after the completion of the
course will be able to perform the cadets:
─ Form a bridge team, using all available resources, enforcing official responsibilities
and creating a sense of responsibility for all crew members
─ Make a detailed plan for the transition and track the progress of the vessel in
accordance with the plan
─ Assess the situation and make decisions to ensure the safety of the ship
─ Support pilots and track their actions:
─ Determine the need for a contingency plan in a high-risk area
─ Recognize the sequence of actions leading to an error and effectively interrupt such
sequence
─ Interpret and effectively use data on maneuvering the vessel.
In the course of an experimental work, the training was integrated into the curriculum
of bachelors and masters. Thus, in the laboratory there are practical classes in the
disciplines “Ship management” and “International rules for preventing collisions of
59
ships at sea”. The distribution of hours into lectures and practical works (Table 1)
indicates that 48.6% of hours and 41% of the hours have been allocated for practical
training.

The STCW [10] defines minimum requirements for the content, criteria and
assessment of professional competencies, which should be more clearly specified by
each higher education institution on its own.
Teachers have developed working programs of disciplines that contain
requirements for the formation of professional competencies, methods of
demonstrating competencies. Thus, in Table 2, the competence requirements for skills
of the specialists from the work program “International rules for preventing collision
of ships at sea” are presented, which meets the standards of the Ministry of Education
and Science of Ukraine, requirements of section AI/12 , Section BI/12 of SNCW and
IMO Model Course 1.07, “Radar Observation and Planning and Operational Use of
Automatic Radar Plotting Aids” (ARPA).

Thorough knowledge of the Principles to be
observed in keeping a navigational watch.
Framework of competencies is also used on the LMS Moodle electronic platform,
which allows you to retrieve individual trajectories and form professional
competencies [20].
The training takes place in small groups (4-5 cadets), which allows each cadet to
actively participate in the educational process, demonstrate their knowledge and
acquired competencies. A permanent working relationship is formed between a
60
teacher and a cadet, resulting in a significant increase in the degree of mastery of both
theoretical and practical knowledge [3].
Stages of classes consist of the following stages:
Training (briefing), which assesses the situation, equipment, determines the object
and purpose.
Simulation process itself, in which an important condition is the maximum sense of
the reality of the situation.
Summaries, analysis (debriefing).
Successful formation of professional competence is considered when the cadet
reaches certain set of points. The level of competence development can be evaluated
automatically by special software, and the assessment of the teacher-instructor who
has the appropriate certificates of permission rating-by average (execution time,
accuracy, absence of errors) is possible.
When comparing grades for discipline in 2018, until the introduction of integrated
training plans between the training center and academy, and in 2019, there is a
significant improvement in the quality of knowledge of students, which indicates the
effectiveness of the use of technology VR in the educational process in the training of
marine specialists to improve the quality of the formation of professional
competencies (Fig. 3).

3 Conclusions and prospects
The search for the latest and effective technologies for the formation of professional
competencies in higher maritime vocational education is conditioned by the
requirements of normative documents, rapid informatization of navigation and
requirements of employers.
61
It is the use of modern VR simulators helps to find new approaches in shaping the
professional competencies of future ship navigators with the departure from
traditional teaching, in favor of the requirements of time and achievements of science
and technology.
The main objective of using simulation technologies is to provide the new quality
of the professional training of future navigators by immersing the students in the real
atmosphere of solving quasi-professional tasks, optimal for the formation of
professional competencies and personal qualities of future ship navigators in
conditions that are as close as possible to the conditions of future professional
activity.
The following research on the use of VR simulators in order to develop the
professional competencies of marine specialists will include the development of
methodological support, which will be reflected in subsequent publications.
