Our SERS™ Ship Engine Room Simulators have now been installed at two distinguished maritime universities in Turkiye: Recep Tayyip Erdogan University (Turgut Kıran Maritime Faculty) and Karadeniz Technical University (Sürmene Faculty of Marine Sciences), empowering the next generation of marine engineers with real-life operational experience.

Each installation includes:
▪️ 8+1 Laboratory Configuration for individual operation and objective performance assessment
▪️ Full Mission Simulator for advanced team coordination and emergency response training

The laboratory configuration allows students to start up and operate systems individually while being objectively assessed through the SERS™ platform, covering multiple competencies defined under IMO STCW 2010.

The full mission simulator recreates an entire engine room and control room environment, supporting realistic team coordination, maneuvering, watchkeeping, and failure response scenarios — fully compliant with IMO Model Course 2.07.

We sincerely appreciate both universities for their cooperation and trust throughout these projects.

At GDS Engineering R&D, we continue to advance maritime education with high-fidelity simulation technologies that bring realism and quality to the next level, expanding the reach of SERS™ across Türkiye and beyond.
