Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), in collaboration with Wärtsilä, has introduced its first methanol bunkering simulator at its Maritime Training Centre in Kochi, India. The platform equips seafarers with essential skills for safely handling methanol as a marine fuel, with ammonia bunkering simulation planned for early 2026.
This initiative supports BSM’s strategy to future-proof crew training as the company prepares to manage its first methanol-powered vessels this year. Two more simulators will be installed in Poland and the Philippines by the end of 2025.
BSM leaders emphasised that maritime decarbonisation relies on both advanced technology and crew competence, highlighting the simulator’s role in preparing for a multi-fuel future and ensuring safe, efficient vessel operations.
