CME Brings Maritime Professionals Together for Integrated High-Impact Training

Recently, the Center for Maritime Education (CME) in Houston was honored to welcome HWCG LLCAET’s Mooring Masters, and Riben Marine, Inc. for an intensive, hands-on simulator training session. This collaboration brought together a diverse team of maritime professionals to our simulators to tackle complex operational scenarios in a highly realistic, controlled environment.

The training covered challenging environmental conditions such as tandem and side-by-side mooring maneuvers, precise approach and departure protocols, and critical failure recovery procedures. Participants also validated vessel flowback protocols and identified opportunities for improved safety and efficiency.

“This session blended technical precision with practical application, delivering immersive learning that simply isn’t possible without advanced simulator capabilities,” said CME Director Capt. Stephen Polk. “It showcased one of our strengths: the ability to incorporate complex requests into realistic exercises across several simulator bridge stations.”

Complex operations like these are where CME excels. Our team integrates client objectives into realistic, mariner-led training that challenges participants while sharpening their skills. Like our clients, we are deeply committed to mariner safety, and bringing maritime professionals together for accurate simulator-based training is central to fulfilling that mission.
