Pivot Maritime International (TAS)
Winner, Small to Medium Services Award

Pivot Maritime International produces maritime simulators for commercial shipping, recreational boating and defence. But unlike its competitors, Pivot is also a simulator user, employing its own simulators in its training, consultancy and research services, and working in close partnership with strategic clients to assist them in making optimal use of their simulators. This strategy ensures the company is continually validating and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of its systems. Pivot’s target markets include the USA, Asia Pacific and Europe.

The simulators, which range from small speedboat simulators to full mission bridge simulators, are designed for optimum affordability and flexibility to meet the changing needs of Pivot’s three key markets: commercial shipping, recreational boating, and defence.

They are used to train marine pilots, tug masters, vessel traffic service operators, small boat operators, seafarers, and defence personnel. They are also used for top-end port research and development work to guide the redesign of existing ports and/or the creation of new ones, and to monitor and improve operational efficiency.
