# Oil Tanker Toys Boat Replicas for Captains-In-Training By Tisah Tucknott | Published 2009-06-09 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oil-tanker-boat-replicas-captains-in-training References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Replica_Supertankers--Other--Gear.html) These boats are not toys as they seem to be, as they replicate life-like oil supertankers. The Warsash Maritime Academy in England has created these [electronically powered oil tankers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-boat-model) for boat captains-in-training. With a price tag of $240,000, it seems that these little boats must have effective training strategies. The training includes how to handle a failed engine crisis, which can be deliberately done by a [remote control](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-robots) on one of these [oil tanker replicas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-tubes). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Maritime Training Technology:** The development and integration of advanced technology in maritime training to improve safety and operational efficiency. - **Realistic Training Simulations:** The use of realistic simulations to train individuals in high-risk industries, such as maritime, to better prepare them for unexpected situations. - **Cost-effective Training Solutions:** The creation of cost-effective training solutions that can help reduce the high costs associated with traditional training methods in the maritime industry. ### Where This Applies - **Maritime:** The maritime industry can benefit from the implementation of realistic training simulations to improve safety and training efficiency. - **Training and Education:** The development of technology-enabled training solutions can provide effective and efficient ways to train individuals in high-risk industries. - **Remote Control Technology:** Remote control technology can be used to create realistic training simulations that can simulate unexpected situations in a controlled environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY Life-Size Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nd-woodworking-art.md) - [Scale-Model Ship Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-titanic.md) - [Energy-Hauling Battery Tankers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-tanker.md) - [High-Speed Remote-Controlled Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xrc-brawler.md) - [Innovative Maritime Transportation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maritime-transportation-system.md) - [Replica Sci-Fi Toy Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playmobil-star-trek-klingon-bird-of-prey.md) - [Water-Mapping Autonomous Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermapping-autonomous-boats.md) - [Recycled Maritime Waste Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dantoys-blue-marine-toys.md) - [Angular Remote-Controlled Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rc-kit.md)
