Speaking of the Marine Institute I have a friend in Venezuela who did an exchange year here and he did a degree in Naval Engineering in Caracas Venezuela.
One day he skype called me to tell about how he had a full class in Venezuela talking about the technology being used at the Marine Institute here in St. John's and it's world class simulator.
Here's a pic of the simulator
