A large group of senior executives from major oil companies, offshore drilling contractors, maritime companies and service contractors attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Thursday to mark the official opening of a new advanced simulation facility in Dubai.

The Maersk Training facility is setting a new benchmark in the industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for advanced operational simulation training. Maersk Training has set out to raise the bar for safety and competence in offshore drilling and maritime operations with a strong focus on human factor elements alongside operational performance.

The advanced simulation facility allows oil & gas and maritime companies to test planned operations in a life-like environment. By ensuring that the crews are optimally prepared before they engage in the actual operation, the training aims to increase safety, save time and reduce cost. The hands-on scenario-based training allows teams to practice events and joint procedures together as an integrated unit, rather than as individual contributors.
