Join us as we delve into the simulation training that's helping North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP) marine pilots to remain at the top of their game, even from over 950 kilometres away from their home ports.

Experience how NQBP's pilots, terminal operators, and tug masters push their limits at the Queensland Government's Smartship Australia facility using virtually recreated ports of Mackay and Hay Point.

The two-day simulations bring to life the berthing of virtual vessels up to 300 metres in length in all types of weather conditions and loading capacities.
