VSTEP extends its international footprint by signing a deal with a high school in Burgas. Burgas is a picturesque city in Bulgaria on the Southern Black Sea Coast.

The city’s hemisphere is surrounded by large bodies of water. This requires an incredibly strong transportation system across the sea and lake channels to ensure both people and goods can travel safely and efficiently.

Inland navigational skills

As such, one of the renowned high schools in Burgas was searching for a high–tech, user-focused maritime simulator to train their students for advanced inland navigational skills. VSTEP had the honour to be chosen for the deal to deliver one standard desktop simulator with a control Box. This deal also includes RADAR, ECDIS, 10 ports, and vessels.  

The simulator will allow students to gain the competencies they require through realistic and cost-effective training. The configuration will allow groups of trainees to practice their inland navigation skills in highly detailed simulated environments in alignment with the school’s training goals.
