Ports, sea-berths and marine terminals concentrate some of the highest-consequence risks in industry: hydrocarbon fires at jetties and tank farms, and oil spills during loading and transfer. When an incident happens, the difference between a contained event and a disaster is how well the response team has rehearsed. That is exactly what XVR Simulation delivers — virtual-reality training that lets commanders and crews practise emergency response, safely and repeatedly, before the real day arrives.
Why simulation for ports and sea-berths
Live drills at an operating berth are expensive, disruptive and limited in scope — you cannot set a real jetty on fire or stage a real spill to test your people. VR simulation removes those limits. Teams can run the same scenario many times, change the variables (wind, tide, time of day, failure modes), and debrief every decision — building the muscle memory that matters under pressure.
Firefighting emergency response
XVR recreates the fire scenarios unique to marine and port facilities so incident commanders can train tactical decision-making and resource deployment:
- Jetty, manifold and loading-arm fires during product transfer
- Storage-tank and tank-farm fires requiring foam application and cooling
- Vessel and engine-room fires alongside the berth
- Coordinating fixed foam systems, monitors and fire-boats in one incident
It pairs naturally with the hardware SATU supplies — for example FireDos foam proportioning systems — so the people and the equipment are trained and ready together.
Oil-spill emergency response
The same platform trains spill response and command coordination: deploying booms around a berth, directing skimmers and recovery, protecting sensitive shorelines, and running the multi-agency command structure a real spill demands. It complements SATU’s spill-response portfolio — NOFI Current Buster, Markleen recovery systems and oil-spill detection — so detection, decision and deployment are rehearsed as one chain.
Built for the marine environment
From single-buoy moorings and FPSO loading to jetties, tug operations and harbour approaches, XVR scenarios can be tailored to a specific port or terminal — training the exact teams who would respond at that site.
