The ENSM in the Transat Jacques Vabre village!
Published on
Teachers, students and former students offer visitors the opportunity to try their hand at driving container ships, ferries, oil tankers and gas tankers without which we could not live, since 90% of the goods we consume every day are imported by the sea.
The kesako simulator?
The simulator is a set of computers and screens, dedicated to training using software developed by WÄRTSILÄ onto which ENSM teachers load very realistic exercises, such as entering the port of Le Havre or a approach in difficult weather conditions, playing on difficulties such as the presence of other ships, swimmers or a helicopter…
The visitor is invited to take the helm and follow the teacher's instructions to steer their ship safely, without "putting it in the dock".
A useful presence to raise awareness of maritime professions
The objective of the School in responding to the invitation from the Transat was of course to participate in activities aimed at young audiences, but also to raise awareness among high school students who are interested in the sea about the profession of officer of the merchant navy and training at ENSM.
Recruited on Parcoursup, scientific baccalaureate graduates complete three years of study, for Bridge or Engine officers. The course for versatile Bridge and Engine officers takes 5.5 years and gives the right to the title of engineer.
“Global maritime transport is experiencing very significant growth. French companies, present on all the seas of the world, recruit ENSM graduates, as interns during their studies, soon as apprentices then as officers with very favorable working conditions and salaries", Caroline Grégoire, general director of the 'School.
The ENSM, heir to the famous schools of Hydrography, is celebrating 450 years of maritime training this year.
