A new ship for transporting wind turbines: German shipowner Briese Schiffahrts calls on the Maritime Simulation and Resource Centre
7 April 2025The well-known shipowner Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co has developed a new concept of ship for the transport of wind turbines. Some of these ships will sail to different ports on the Great Lakes. To this end, Briese has entrusted the MSRC with the mandate to develop the ship model and, with the help of its navigation simulator and the complicity of the GLPA pilots, to familiarize its captains and C/Os with the challenges that the St. Lawrence Seaway represents for this type of ship. We are very proud to welcome this group of highly qualified and professional people from Germany, the Philippines, Russia and Canada.
“Thanks to the many Great Lakes exercise areas developed by MSRC, we were able to carry out several critical manoeuvres, together with the GLPA pilots. The MSRC team of specialists did a remarkable job in modelling the vessel and their contribution and technical support, throughout the project, were impeccable. We are very pleased to have entrusted this mandate to the MSRC”, says Bernd Hartmann, Fleet Manager at Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co.KG.
