Green Ammonia Loading Terminal

Mills Navigation has extensive experience in using both desktop and Full Mission Bridge Simulators (FMBS). At the forefront of this technology are centres such as HR Wallingford in the UK, Kongsberg Maritime in Norway, MARIN in Holland, Force Technology in Singapore and SIPORT21 in Spain where Mills Navigation provides an ongoing programme of training.

The simulators we use are full bridge, real time manoeuvring simulators specifically designed for port and ship operations applications but can also be used for training and pilot familiarisation.  They are reliable, flexible and cost effective design and evaluation tools that can be used for optimising harbour layouts, establishing operational strategy and training in safe manoeuvering procedures. 

Mills Navigation was invited by Fortescue to act as Client Representative during the pre-FEED phase Navigational Safety Study simulation sessions at Kongsberg Maritime (KM) for the proposed Green Ammonia Loading Terminal Project at Hemnes and Holmaneset in Norway. The study was focused on ensuring safe manoeuvring of the proposed size of ammonia carriers (Handysize LOA 130 to 150m and MGC LOA 180m) during arrival, berthing, unberthing and departure.  In addition, deriving operating parameters for the terminal, including maximum metocean conditions and tug use, was a requirement.
