When an emergency happens at sea you have to be prepared, act fast, and get it right. You don't get a second chance. The innovative simulator technology that Dr. Brian Veitch has developed has greatly improved marine safety worldwide by providing those working at sea with the tools they need to respond to emergencies in the toughest conditions on Earth. His research provides a wealth of experience that is otherwise unavailable due to dangerous and unpredictable offshore conditions and has played a leading role in the creation of a standard for emergency escape, evacuation and rescue for the Canadian and international offshore industries. For this work, he has been honoured with Fellowships from SNAME and the Royal Institute of Naval Architects.
