ATHLETICS The NMI sailing team is a student-led organization that promotes racing at all levels with the goal of preparing athletes to compete at the college level and beyond. The team is currently a club team that practices on the team’s E420s. Students are also invited to participate in local soccer and basketball leagues.
TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARY SERVICES SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY Northeast Maritime Institute – College of Maritime Science houses one of the most technologically advanced simulators in the United States. We are proud to house two Full-Bridge Simulators, a Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator, and six RADAR/ARPA/ECDIS Part-Task Simulators at our Fairhaven, MA campus. With our state-of-the-art simulation centers, NMI provides hands-on practical experiences to students which are unlike that of any training center in the United States, combining our simulation experience and then transferring their knowledge to real world applications using our training vessels. Ship Handling The two Full Bridge Simulators provide state-of-the-art navigation and full-mission simulation with a 240°- and 320°-degree horizontal field of view, with our Full Mission Tug Simulator providing 110° of vertical views to oversee deck operations as well as ensuring that navigational situation awareness id realized. Our simulators enable our students to be fully immersed in a virtual environment increasing training realism and redundancy of problems to ensure that they are field ready upon graduation. Our simulators can be fully integrated with the tugboat simulator and large ship simulator interfacing between each other as well as with our six additional Part Task. Liquid Cargo Handling Our Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator is designed to train and certify crew members of liquid cargo tankers, gas carriers, barges and terminals and it is used to train other staff responsible for safe cargo handling and the operation of auxiliary equipment. The Liquid Cargo Handling Simulator provides capacity to both train and certify our students to realize Tankerman Familiarization certification and Tankerman Person in Charge certification. Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems and Electronic Navigation Our ECDIS, RADAR, ARPA and navigation lab is a computer-based navigation system compliant with International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations and teaches students modern techniques using electronic charts that can be used as an alternative to paper nautical charts. The lab consists of six student stations, with each station being itself a stand-alone full mission simulator. Tugboat Operations The Tug and Barge Operations Simulator provides students with the best of tools for both ship assist training tasks and professional training in tug and barge operations. Our scenarios include simulation training in mooring operations (ship-to-ship and ship-to-pier), anchoring operations, and tug operations in automatic and manual mode. Our tug simulator provides training for Apprentice Mate, Mate and Master training for Towing Operators as well.
