ABS to acquire MetaSHIP game-based training

As part of our Career Connect Washington Maritime Sector ongoing work, we actively track, document, and inform about emerging technologies and trends. As part of its strategic growth plan for ABS Training Solutions, ABS is moving to deliver immersive, next-generation maritime training at scale. It has signed an agreement to purchase the MetaSHIP intellectual property and related vessel simulator software assets from Turkey’s Orka Informatics.

The acquisition, subject to Turkish regulatory approval, will allow ABS to expand its highly realistic digital training program, which can be delivered on board, in port or at home, as well as in a global network of high-tech ABS learning centers in Qatar, Greece and Singapore. The software powers an embedded gaming experience using the industry-leading MetaSHIP Fleet, virtual vessels that allow students to reach true competence without setting foot on board.
