The International Navigation Simulator Lecturers’ Conference (INSLC) was established in 1979 as International Radar Simulator Teachers Workshop (IRSTW), the first meeting was held in Liverpool, in 1980. INSLC has since then played an important role in promoting best practice in the use of navigation simulators in the training of nautical ship officers and masters, and in the use of such simulators in research. Lecturers using navigation simulators at maritime academies and universities worldwide have benefited from the exchange of knowledge, experiences and views with colleagues at and between INSL Conferences and as members of a steadily evolving expert network.
Developments in electronic navigation and simulator use are reflected in the early history of the Conference. The first four meetings were held as International Radar Simulator Teachers’ Workshops (IRSTW); the following two meetings as International Radar and Navigation Simulator Lecturers Conferences (IRNSLC), and from 1992 the word Radar was dropped to reflect the change towards a more integrated concept of navigation. This resulted in the acronym of INSLC. INSLC is a conference of IMLA, the International Maritime Lecturers Association.
INSLC is a meeting of men and women who are navigation simulator lecturers. The members and attendees of INCLC are the world leaders in the field of maritime instruction as it relates to the use of part task and full mission simulation in maritime education and training. However, because of the broad range of subjects presented and discussed at the INSLC the organization is of interest for other maritime stakeholders who are concerned with or interested in safety at sea, on waterways and in ports from a training or research aspect. Nautical officers and ship masters, members of professional nautical associations, VTS personnel, harbour masters, ship owners/operators, maritime safety administrations, maritime casualty investigation boards, maritime research institutes will benefit from participating in INLSC activities.
Emeritus Member: At the INSLC 18 the Steering Committee of INSLC decided to establish the “Status of Emeritus Member of INSLC” for long standing, very active members of INSLC. The following members were appointed that status:
- Fang Quangen
- Eric Larsson
- Robert Meurn
- Sandberg George
- KOBAYASHI, Hiroaki
