The system fully meets stringent global requirements for accuracy, realism, and safety — critical criteria in the training of seafarers, officers, and vessel operators.
DNV, established in 1864 in Norway, is one of the world’s most reputable maritime classification and assessment bodies, operating in more than 100 countries and playing a key role in setting technical standards across the maritime, energy, and heavy industry sectors.
For the first time Vietnam has possessed a maritime simulation system certified at the highest international level. The recognition directly increases the system’s practical value for domestic and regional maritime training and vessel operation units.
Viettel High Tech’s simulation system is designed as a fully digital ship-bridge environment, replicating real-life controls and vessel responses. Trainees can practice operations under a wide range of complex conditions such as severe weather, strong currents, limited visibility, or emergency scenarios that are difficult or impossible to recreate on an actual ship.
Thanks to its comprehensive simulation capability and high degree of realism, Viettel’s system passed all evaluation levels by DNV and was classified as Class A, the highest of five tiers under the DNV-ST-0033 standard.
This achievement places Vietnam among a select group of Asian countries - China, India, Singapore, Japan, and Turkey - capable of independently researching and developing world-class ship-bridge simulation systems.
