A delegation from the La Spezia terminal operator company La Spezia Container Terminal (LSCT) of the Contship Italia group has to Rotterdam to test advanced technologies and deepen industry best practices, in view of future developments in the Ligurian terminal. The delegation, made up of staff from the departments Technical-Operational and Security, visited the training center of the ECT Hutchinson Ports container terminal in Maasvlakte-Rotterdam. During the visit, the LSCT team was able to test a simulator that faithfully reproduces the real operating conditions of yard and which allows future operators to gain experience in a controlled environment, reducing the risk of possible damage to people, goods and equipment. Thanks to learning, the tool allows you to deal with increasingly complex and structured scenarios, including docks, different types of ships and loading plans. The cabin of the simulator is also connected to a control console which allows instructors to monitor driving performance in real time, changing environmental variables such as weather and visibility, and to control key parameters such as speed and load trajectory.
