LJMU Maritime Centre
LJMU Maritime Centre - A part of the Liverpool John Moores University
The Maritime Centre helps to meet the training needs of the maritime industry, whether that is through our facilities or through our specialist training courses.
Some of our key facilities include our ship-handling simulator, which is one of the most advanced in Europe. Thanks to the simulator, induced equipment faults and ship manoeuvring difficulties become real, demanding proper responses from students. Theory is put into practice and the chosen response can be compared and contrasted with the actions of others during the comprehensive and powerful debrief sessions.
In terms of research, the simulator has been used to confirm the suitability of new berthing facilities, which has proven economic value. It has also been used to research the impact of civil engineering projects on the marine environment as well as conducting investigations into maritime accidents and insurance claims.
Courses are a key part of the Maritime Centre and we offer a full range of STCW short courses. We also offer foundation degree courses, Chief Mate and Master courses as well as bespoke training. Staff are qualified Master Mariners or have appropriate professional maritime qualifications, as well as management and teaching qualifications. The Maritime Centre is an approved MCA training centre and operates to an accredited ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System.
As well as being known for our excellent facilities and courses, our Centre also offers consultancy, conference and corporate events services.
