Port Revel has been training pilots and captains around the world for more than 55 years, with a fleet of 12 1/25 scale models on a 5-hectare lake reserved for trainees, a team of 9 skilled instructors and an admin and technical staff of 7 people.
Why training?
Because human error is still the main cause of accidents.
Why manned model training?
Because this is still the best way to acquire certain reflexes which, when the time comes, will make all the difference between being good and being the best. Training on the scale models provides experience that could never be gained on real ships for the simple reason that neither ship-owners nor local authorities would allow such risks to be taken. Scale models allow the ship handler to make mistakes. Scale models allow experimentation on ship behavior to explore unknown fields beyond the limits of safety.
Safety at sea is our common aim.
