Read full description

Handle a real ship the way a pilot does. Ship Maneuvering Simulator runs on the MMG hydrodynamic model, the kind of mathematical model used in professional ship handling simulators, so every ship turns, stops and drifts like the real thing. Made by a working maritime pilot. REALISTIC SHIP BEHAVIOR • Propeller walk when going astern • Drift and a pivot point that moves as the ship turns and slows down • Rudder that bites in the propeller wash and fades at low speed • Bow thruster that loses its grip as speed builds up • True speed at every engine order, from dead slow to full: a loaded bulker carries her way a long time • Suction and bank effect when passing other ships • Wind on hull and superstructure, current, and swell up to 10 m with roll, pitch and heave CAREER Start as a Cadet and earn your stripes. 24 missions in 4 chapters take you from following a buoyed channel to entering a lock, berthing alongside, a night entry by buoy lights, overtaking and meeting ships on the river, and a pilot run. The Big Ships chapter puts you on a large container ship in a strong wind, takes a loaded bulker into the lock with two tugs, springs a ship off the berth, anchors on the river, weighs anchor in a crowded anchorage and backs a big ship into a tight berth. Earn up to three stars per mission, unlock new ships as you rise through the ranks and compare your times on the weekly and all-time leaderboards. ANCHORS • Port and starboard anchors: let go, pay out, hold and heave • The chain lies on the bottom and the anchor digs in, holds, drags or dredges, in the real water depth • Dredge an anchor to hold the bow, or swing short round on it • The windlass stalls under too much weight: ease it with the engine • Let the chain run out too fast and it goes over the bitter end MOORING AND TUGS • Six mooring lines: head, stern, breast and spring lines, each with heave, hold and slack • Lines take the real load and part when you pull too hard • Order tugs to push or pull, alongside or on the centre line, then cast them off • Let go fore and aft and take your ship off the berth SHIPS Cargo ship, navy supply ship, frigate, battleship, bulk carrier (loaded and in ballast), large container ship and cruise ship, including twin-engine ships. FREE PLAY Pick a ship, a place and the conditions: dawn, day, dusk or night, wind, current and swell. Sail at sea, on the river, through the lock and into the port, with other ships under way showing their navigation lights. VIEWS Follow your ship from outside, look around freely or stand on the bridge.
