How prepared is your crew to manoeuvre a ferry safely when crosswinds, tides and port geometry push vessel handling to its limits? To test and verify the behaviour of this doublew-ended ferry in realistic conditions, captains carried out various manoeuvres in a virtual environment on MARIN’s Full Mission Bridge simulator. These real-time manoeuvring simulations incorporate full‑scale port layouts, realistic metocean conditions and advanced modelling of ship–pod interactions to support safe and efficient manoeuvring. They allow captains to train under challenging wind, wave and tidal conditions, improving understanding of vessel behaviour during berthing and port approaches. Curious how enhanced simulation fidelity can support safer port operations?
