Maritime Simulation Institute › Why A A A A

Why choose Maritime Simulation Institute?

Maritime Simulation Institute has at least three characteristics that differentiate us from other simulator research and training companies. Consider the following when making a selection of the company with which you would prefer working:

Service

Maritime Simulation Institute listens to clients' needs. We do not consider that in training "one size fits all."  See the Customized training section of this website. Moreover, challenging training programs and research projects are our niche.

Timely response

Maritime Simulation Institute has the required skills in house to get the job done. Our staff includes mariners, database programmers, hydrodynamicists, and simulator software and hardware engineers. We can quickly respond to special research and training needs by making changes in our simulation. Unlike other simulator training companies which must go to their simulation supplier, in some cases to an overseas supplier, we make our own modifications.

Precision simulation

Maritime Simulation Institute is constantly refining its simulation techniques to achieve greater precision and realism in its simulation for both research and training. For example, we recently developed the capability to demonstrate how the bank effects are different for a twin screw ship in a narrow channel than they are for a single screw ship.
