As a result of Johanniter and VTSEP’s collaboration, Johanniter purchased Response Simulator with a maritime module from VSTEP for the exercise in February and March 2023.

For this event, they will be using VR, showcasing how the environment will be affected by ship collisions and oil spills. Hence, the people in charge can be trained to make the right decisions to contain and combat it timely. 

Reducing environmental impact

VSTEP is proud to be a part of such a good cause. It strives to remain consistent with the United Nation’s SDG goals. ‘Climate Action’ is the one that speaks directly to their business. VSTEP is trying to reduce environmental impact and help build a safer world through its innovative simulator solutions.

It is happy that the customers share the same point of view and use VSTEP's simulators to visually demonstrate environmental impact. For example, Johanniter is planning to show at the discussion-based EU MODEX on Marine Pollution how oil spreads in the water and how marine life gets affected. 

Emergency response

Johanniter and partners from the offshore and shoreline responder community plan to demonstrate the software

Another crucial component of this deal is related to emergency response on board the ship and on the shoreline. What do emergency responders have to do if there is a collision? What do they do in case of any oil spill and which factors have an influence on a successful joint response?

That’s what Johanniter and their partners from the offshore and shoreline responder community plan to emphasise and demonstrate at the event. It’s especially valuable as the software is made for learning.  

One-for-all solution

As the event starts in February 2023, Johanniter hasn’t had the chance yet to use the software. However, they interacted with it prior to renting and shared some remarks, “The graphics we have seen so far look highly realistic. This will help us reach our objectives of demonstrating environmental damage to the audience and inspire the right actions."

"On the communication side, we appreciated their quick response and flexible attitude. We didn’t feel like we got sold a ‘one-for-all’ solution. Instead, we got and continue getting highly customised treatment from the VSTEP Team’.
