Internet-Based Integration of Multiple Ship-Handling Simulators: An Interim Report

Due to the high expense and risk for the ship handling practice on a real ship, most MET institutions implement ship-handling (SHS) training. With the development of the technology in recent years, SHS has been improved greatly on ship handling model and scene image. However, most of the SHSs are stand-alone facilities and the trainees in the programs usually come from the same country or the same company, which differs from reality. Navigation is an international activity, and there may be many ships from different countries sailing in the same area. This paper focuses on solving technical problems and developing the necessary software and hardware for integrating multiple simulators on the Internet. The project designs and realizes the platform for integrating multiple SHSs, and composes the relative technology standard. It describes the relevant specification for the integration of multiple SHSs and establishes the infrastructure for the integration of multiple SHSs according to the technological specification. Standardization guidelines will be provided for the integration of multiple SHSs in IAMU member institutions. A management center will be set up for managing and coordinating the complete integrated system and a prototype will be built in order to implement the integration of two or three SHSs from different countries.
