 The use of simulation technology has become increasingly important for maritime education. At Curson State Maritime Academy, this technology is used to provide both traditional and online learning, as well as virtual training through the use of VR technology. This allows students to gain experience with launching and handling lifeboats and life rafts prior to going out to sea, resulting in better performance when it comes to professional competence in operating these devices. An experiment conducted with the use of VR technology showed a difference of 9.8% between the control group and the experimental group, indicating the effectiveness of the research.
