About this simulation

A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional), module 0803 Administracion y gestion del buque y de la actividad pesquera (Tecnico Superior en Transporte Maritimo y Pesca de Altura, Real Decreto 1691/2011).

The learner is the newly qualified technician who runs the fleet office of a fictional small Bilbao shipowner with three general-cargo ships trading between Spanish Atlantic ports and northern Europe, over the four quarters of one year. Eight decisions over four rounds: the contracts and the routes, the speed and the crews, the insurance and the emission allowances, the certificates and the close of the year.

Scored on voyage margin reached, cost per ship-day, ship-days lost and legal and safety incidents; three tempting choices come back later, and two critical errors (one officer short of the safe manning with the hours of rest written to fit, a voyage with the safety certificate expired) cap the round. Lesson: sailing slower saves fuel but costs voyages. Spanish primary, English parity.

All companies, ships, shippers and people are fictional.

Who it is for

An introductory simulation that assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, designed for undergraduate courses. It also works in vocational and high-school programmes and in onboarding sessions.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 4 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results. The first round opens with: lunes 10 de enero de 2028, 8:00: los contratos y las rutas.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.

Decisions participants make

The decisions participants make during the simulation:

  • Cómo se contratan los buques
  • Qué rutas hacen
  • A qué velocidad navegan
  • Cómo se tripulan
  • Cómo se aseguran
  • Cómo se gestionan las emisiones y los derechos
