Immersive training in real‑time 3D

The reason

Leading the energy transition through digital training

The maritime sector is entering one of its most significant transformations in decades. As part of the green transition, Everllence is pioneering advanced low‑emission, dual‑fuel technology: engines capable of running on both traditional diesel and methanol.

With this innovation comes an equally pressing need: thousands of engineers, technicians, and crew members must learn to operate and maintain these new systems safely and expertly.

The parts used in methanol engines, especially the specialised components unique to methanol handling, are extremely expensive, slow to source, delicate to handle, and nearly impossible to distribute across Everllence's seven global training centres.

Handling methanol demands entirely new safety routines, leak‑awareness skills, and maintenance precision far beyond what diesel engines require.

Everllence had searched the market, but no digital solution felt robust, realistic, or scalable enough to replace the physical components they relied on. Until now.

Together with Everllence, we developed a digital twin of the FBIV because the traditional classroom-based training of technicians had become a bottleneck.

Beyond enabling a more efficient training setup, the digital twin visually and clearly highlights risk points at every step. This is crucial because diesel engines can tolerate minor errors - methanol systems cannot.

The digital twin provides learners with a structured learning journey that blends:

• classic e‑learning
• procedural training
• guided assembly/disassembly
• hazard‑based learning
• assessment pathways
• and, most importantly, a visual twin of the entire process

With the digital twin Everllence’s learners can:

• explore the FBIV as a fully assembled unit
• break it down step‑by‑step
• reassemble it with visual guidance
• understand methanol‑specific hazards as they arise
• practise safely, repeatedly, anywhere in the world

All in responsive, realistic, real‑time 3D designed to behave exactly as the real component would.

MEET THE TEAM

The x factor - from component to learning experience

Sometimes the magic does not lie in inventing new technology, but in combining technologies in ways no one has before.

For this project, our team:

• filmed the real FBIV being fully disassembled and reassembled
• mapped every step into intuitive, trackable learning flows
• developed real‑time 3D models with both assembled and exploded views
• built a user interface that always shows learners exactly where they are in the process
• integrated safety cues specific to methanol handling
• created a pipeline that lets us produce future components faster, without compromising accuracy
