South Tyneside College to create 3D Model of Whitby Port

The South Tyneside College has just won a contract to create a 3D Simulation model of New North Yorkshire’s Whitby Port.  The model is to be used in a new training simulation for ship pilots.

“Our simulation unit provides an experience as close to real life as you’ll ever get, and gives pilots a unique opportunity to test out their skills in a safe and controlled environment.

This isn’t South Tyneside’s first time to model a port, they’ve done previous work modeling the Port of Blyth (shown) and various installations at the Firth of Forth, lik the Houndpoint jetty.
