In 2012, the pilots of the Gironde acquired a TRANSAS© NAVITRAINER 5000 maneuvering simulator, with financial support from Bordeaux Métropole and the Grand Port Maritime.
This outstanding tool was last updated in 2019.
This tool has been proven indispensable in developing procedures for cruise ships to pass under the new Jacques Chaban-Delmas Bridge, which now marks the entrance to “the Port of the Moon.”
The digitization of all port terminals allows pilots to practice for any situation. It is used to validate standard maneuvers with shipowners and can also be used to train captains in the highly specialized navigation required in estuarine environments.
In addition, it enables pilots to assist the GPMB with its projects by modeling new docks in order to define the maximum dimensions of ships for example.
