Damage Control Wet Trainer

Immerse yourself in our 2-Story training facility where flooding, breaches, broken pipes and hatch failures are simulated using realistic flood conditions. Teams work together making the right decisions, activating control tactics, and developing hands-on skills in a safe but intense environment.

First Responder Survival Training for Flooding and Hull Breaches
At Resolve Maritime Academy we’re proud to have the only customized 2-story damage control wet trainer facility in the southeast United States. Our wet trainer allows us to simulate flooding from breaches, broken pipes, and hatches and is designed to give ship’s damage control teams the knowledge and understanding necessary to deal with survivable flooding.

The trainer is 40’ long x 8’ wide and 2 stories high, totaling 640 sq. ft.—making it one of the largest wet trainers outside of the military. It features a wet room for practicing damage control techniques and a flooding room to run scenarios ranging from command tactics to damage assessment, as well as 2nd flood access, giving students the ability to enter the flooded compartment from above and thus incorporating modern SOP’s into their practical training.

Resolve Maritime Academy damage control courses encourage team building, proper decision making, and damage control tactics in an environment that develops crucial hands-on skills in a safe, but stressful environment. Before getting into the wet trainer, students will cover NAPA damage stability, case studies, cross and down flooding, and flooding mitigation in the classroom before experiencing what it’s like to try and react appropriately in a confined flooding space.
