Marine Simulation

Marine Simulation develops underwater and ship training simulator software for maritime and subsea use. Its core products are ROVsim and vSHIP, computer-based simulation systems that cover ROV, AUV and ship simulation. The company concentrates on physics-accurate and visually realistic training environments, drawing on 3D graphics and simulation technologies to support pilot training, familiarisation with equipment, mission planning, mission rehearsal and sensor simulation. Its simulators are built to run on low-cost off-the-shelf computers and hardware, and they conform to industry-standard interfaces, file formats, operating systems and other standards rather than requiring proprietary equipment. The products are designed to be intuitive and easy to use, and they are in service worldwide in training facilities and schools. The market the company serves across maritime and subsea work is broad. It reaches offshore oil and gas, nearshore operators, coastal and inland marine operations, and organisations running mini, observation-class, working-class and multi-ROV systems. Its use cases include offshore mooring and support operations, surface and subsurface search and recovery, naval mine and ordnance sweeping and clearance, electronic navigation training, subsea environment visualisation, and ROV pilot training. Its products are used in nearly 100 training and educational institutions, and in over 60 training facilities and schools across 20 countries. The catalogue covers a wide range of computer-based undersea simulators, from portable solutions through to more sophisticated offshore systems, so a customer can pick a package that matches the scale of its operation. Behind the products sit nearly 30 years of experience in undersea research, maritime operations and software development. The product family includes specialised simulators for different vehicle classes and operational contexts, among them mini ROV demonstration tools and training systems aimed at offshore oil and gas. That spread means the company tailors its simulation software to specific operational and instructional needs rather than offering a single generic platform.
