📋 Tender Overview
On November 24, the maritime training simulation system developed by Viettel High Technology Industry Corporation (Viettel High Tech) was certified by the international organization DNV (Det Norske Veritas) as reaching the highest level in the maritime simulation category.

This certification confirms that the product fully meets the strict requirements for accuracy, authenticity and safety according to international standards, which are key requirements when training crew members, officers and ship operators. DNV is the worlds leading prestigious maritime registration and assessment organization, founded in 1864 in Norway, operating in more than 100 countries and playing the role of setting technical standards in the fields of maritime, energy and heavy industry. This is the first time Vietnam owns a maritime simulation system that meets the highest international standards. Not only is it a technological milestone, this certification also directly enhances the value of the simulation system for domestic and regional ship training and operating units. For units considering investing in a simulation system, DNVs certification that Viettel achieved is an important guarantee of validity and applicability in practice. The system meets international standards allowing training courses to be built in accordance with the requirements for safety and operational capacity. ships issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) through the STCW standards, creating conditions for training results and crew capacity assessment to be widely recognized. Thanks to that, training centers can confidently expand training programs, while shipping lines or seaports have more options to organize internal training instead of relying entirely on overseas facilities. Viettel High Techs simulation system is designed as a complete ship control room in a digital environment, realistically reproducing all operations and reactions of the ship when operating. Students can practice control in many complex conditions such as bad weather, strong currents, limited visibility or incident situations that are difficult or impossible to recreate on real ship training. The system meets international standards, allowing training courses to be built in accordance with the requirements for safety and ship operating capacity issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) - Photo: VGP/HTThanks to comprehensive simulation capabilities and a high level of realism, Viettels system has passed all DNV assessment levels and is classified as Class A - the highest level of 5 levels according to DNV-ST-0033 standards. This makes Vietnam one of the few countries in Asia that possesses the ability to independently research and develop a standard cockpit simulation system, along with China, India, Singapore, Japan, and Turkiye. While the remaining countries are still largely dependent on purchasing or importing technology from outside. According to reports from Market.us and Mordor Intelligence, the global maritime simulation market is expected to reach 6-7 billion USD in the period 2030-2033, of which the Asia-Pacific region has the fastest growth rate. In the Vietnamese and international markets, the demand for simulation is increasing due to the tightening of STCW standards (the International Convention regulating training, certification and watchkeeping standards for seafarers) and the expansion of commercial fleets, while many countries do not have simulation systems designed according to channel routes, nautical conditions or specific ship types. Viettels self-development capacity creates more suitable options in terms of cost and level of customization for the domestic and regional markets. DNV divides the maritime training simulation system into five levels and Class A is the highest level, allowing for complete and realistic training of all maritime tasks that can be performed on real ships. Viettels system has met all technical requirements, directly evaluated by DNV experts through more than 120 measurements and 56 technical indicators belonging to three main groups of requirements: Physical Realism (the level of accurate simulation of the physical characteristics of the ship and the environment), Behavioral Realism (the level of accurate reproduction of human behavior, systems and related objects) and Operating Environment (the level of realistic simulation of geographical, weather and environmental conditions). operating environment). All items were evaluated as satisfactory, with many contents exceeding standards. Minh Thi
