VR SOP Training for Maritime Shipbuilding & Dry-Dock Operations

Custom VR to orchestrate heavy fabrication, outfitting and yard safety

Shipbuilding and refit programmes coordinate large-scale fabrication, outfitting and systems integration across busy yards and dry-docks. Spark designs and builds bespoke VR SOP training that replicates your blocks, docks, cranes, confined spaces and permit regimes—so crews rehearse critical procedures, lifts and emergency actions without exposing people or assets to risk.

Yard pain points our VR solves

• Heavy lifts & logistics: slinging plans, crane communication, weather windows, deck movements.
• Hot work & permits: fire watches, gas testing, ventilation, confined space entry.
• Outfitting complexity: cabling, piping, HVAC routing, clash management and system tests.
• Dry-dock safety: flooding/emptying sequences, block checks, keel block alignment.
• Contractor onboarding: variable experience, multilingual teams, documentation discipline.

Bespoke build approach

1. Discovery: capture SOPs, RAMS, lift plans, dock procedures and emergency routes.
2. Scenario design: block moves, major lifts, confined-space hot work, dock flood/empty.
3. AI avatar coaching: toolbox-talk prompts, stop-work authority, tagout/tryout checks.
4. Assessment & analytics: right-first-time steps, time-to-safe-state, missed-step flags.
5. Deployment: training rooms, induction suites, on-dock kiosks; multilingual content.

Operational outcomes

• Fewer lifting incidents and permit breaches.
• Faster, safer contractor induction and task readiness.
• Improved schedule adherence via well-rehearsed procedures.
• Defensible competence evidence for owners, class and insurers.
