On Tuesday, March 8, the United States Maritime Resource Center (USMRC) held a senior-level crisis management exercise using its suite of ship simulators to explore the response and coordination actions required by merchant vessels called in to assist in a rescue at sea of unsafe migration activities. The exercise was held in concert with the U.S. Department of State - Overseas Security Advisory Council's (OSAC) Maritime Security Working Group.

Comprehensive hydraulic excavator and tower crane simulators are designed to train for safe and skilled operations.
