Start year 2015 End year 2017 Funding (€) € 826,087 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/901134/ Summary The SimFisk project aims to develop a realistic simulator for crew training and testing of new technology concepts in the fishing fleet. The simulators will target both the coastal and the sea-going fishing fleet, in addition to suppliers of fishing gear and equipment. Different conditions related to catch operations; navigation, weather, wave heights and currents are factors that can be practiced in a simulator. In the SimFisk project, fishing vessel skippers and crews, technology and equipment suppliers and maritime training centres in Norway and Iceland, will work together to develop such a simulator.
The simulator will be developed based on the fishing industry's needs and requirements. Realistic simulation of fisheries operations together with vessel navigation requires development of new simulation technology. Mathematical models will be developed for waves, propulsion and control systems, under different circumstances and unexpected errors that might occur. In addition to this there will be developed models for fishing gear to be set, operated and hauled in to the vessel.
A training simulator will strengthen the fishing industry's opportunities for a sustainable development. High quality education and safe, efficient and environmentally friendly technologies are success factors for a future-oriented fisheries industry. The SimFisk project will result in the realization of a simulator and training center in the Ålesund region. The training center will also be available to other fisheries regions, nationally and internationally. To ensure that the development of the fisheries simulator is in line with international market needs, Icelandic and British actors contributes to the project.
