CM Labs Simulations, a provider of simulation-based training, has announced the release of a new simulation training solution for double-empty container handlers.
The Intellia Double Empty Container Handler Add-On Module, developed in partnership with port operator trainers, teaches operators how to use double empty container handler control functions and strategies to load and unload containers in a real-world port context.
Devon Van de Kletersteeg, CM Labs’ ports Product Manager, said: “This add-on module incorporates realistic machine behaviours that are unlike anything else on the market. It’s the only solution on the market that can tip when the simulated equipment corners too fast, and that truly reacts like the real thing when loads are distributed unevenly.”
According to the company, this training session also tackles a pressing issue for terminal operators today: moving empty containers as swiftly and safely as possible.

“Without a virtual training solution, ports must dedicate more time on the actual equipment to training,” Van de Kletersteeg said. “This helps reduce wear and tear, and allows for a more flexible training schedule.”
The Double Empty Container Handler Add-On Module features equipment-grade controls and is compatible with the following CM Labs port equipment training hardware: Advantage, Master, and MasterCab.
To use the Double Empty Container Handler Add-On Module, you must first install the Empty Container Handler Training Pack.
In November 2023, Wärtsilä announced it would supply its latest simulator technology for a new maritime training centre in Finland.
