About this game

This simulator will give you a realistic experience of what it's like to handle a large ship. It includes some features which often seem to be missing in other simulators:
- Astern effect of the propeller
- Drift during turn
- Pivot point movement
- Rudder effectiveness based on propeller flow and ship's own velocity
- Bow thruster effectiveness influenced by ship's velocity

For the moment there are five ships (cargo ship, supply ship, battle ship, bulker ship and a cruise ship with twin engines). In the future more may be added.

The game is played in a sandbox style with a sea, river and port environment and customisable current and wind effect.

The simulation is based on the mathematical hydrodynamic MMG model which is also used in professional ship handling and mooring simulators.

Ratings and reviews

What a great start! 3 stars because the game is only the thinnest of simulations, no economy, the harbor models don't actually do anything. would be nice to actually have pickup and delivery of freight and goods. Also, at least the light boat drifts too much like a starship in open space. The hull doesn't seem to have any friction against the water. Vectors work like in a frictionless environment.

Fix the maneuverability at low speed. Add oil tankers (Aframax and 180m tankers). Add ability to have 2 rudders. Fix the hit box of the ships as it doesn't match with the visual and as long as you pass close to the land you get damage. Remove the damage and monetary damage report cost. Add mooring and anchoring. Add passenger ship and ability to operate and open ramps. Keep up the good work as this is the best and true ship simulator on phone.

Very cool game but I wish you guys could add more places on the map, some subtle music, and horns. Also more ships, say a large cruise ship. Overl very cool game with excellent water and ship maneuvering physics

What’s new

- Added "Night" initial condition (in the "Graphics Settings", you can now select "Night", "Dawn", "Day" and "Dusk".
- Added navigation lights with the correct visibility sectors. You can switch them on or off in the "Ship Settings".
