Marine
Bearing resemblance to flight simulators, a maritime simulator is meant for training of ship personnel. The most common marine simulators include:[1]
- Ship's bridge simulators
- Engine room simulators[2]
- Cargo handling simulators
- Communication / GMDSS simulators
- ROV simulators
Simulators like these are mostly used within maritime colleges, training institutions, and navies. They often consist of a replication of a ships' bridge, with the operating console(s), and a number of screens on which the virtual surroundings are projected.
