The main engine remote control simulator was recently installed in the engine room simulator (ERS) room at Oshima College. The new simulator system is expected to facilitate mproving effectiveness of cadet training both for operations of engine remote control system and the engine room resource management(ERM). With the new simulator system, cadets can take practical training of the ERM as well as operation,emergency response, and maintenance of the engine remote control system. This paper will discuss effective training methods of the ERM training with the main engine remote control simulator. Classification of the ERS and ERM training requirement stipulated by the STCW Convention will be explained. Planning and implementation of the ERM training at Oshima College will be examined.
