BEI Maritime is the premier, state-of-the-art maritime training center. The focal point is the 1.4 million gallon indoor pool and its one-of-a-kind training assets. These include a 110 foot, three-story, live-fire cargo ship, complete with a 30 foot high engine room to offer a 720 degree firearm range, 30 reconfigurable shipping containers, and multiple "from water" climb heights for boardings.
The offshore survival training assets include a sixteen passenger Helicopter Underwater Egress Trainer, and a Small Craft Underwater Egress Trainer.
In support of offshore wind energy entering the United States market, a 12 foot diameter and 30 foot high above-the-water wind turbine tower will project from the pool to maximize training under the Global Wind Organization (GWO) regulated safety training requirements.
Atmospheric special effects include continuous waves up to 8 feet, maritime sounds, lighting effects, rain, and fog.
Outside will be a three-story marinized firefighting training center. This computer controlled, propane generated facility will simulate a maritime platform complete with engine room, berthing, and galley.
The BEI Maritime campus will also include an 80 room hotel and 80 room dining facility along with classroom space to accomodate the centers guests and trainees.
