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

Very nice but add ferries and ocean liner. And add more maps and a horn.

Very good ship sim game. Only wish they added docking mode with lines and anchoring. The new handling model is very realistic and on point! Hopefully there will be changes to the map and more ships to choose from!

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.

What’s new

- All-new low-speed professional MMG handling model based on new research (Taniguchi & Maki, 2025) for even more realistic harbour manoeuvring, proper drift, propeller "walk", pivot point movement and rudder/propeller behaviour.
- Added tug assistance: control the tugs in lateral (push/pull) or longitudinal (bow/stern tug) mode to help you berth and unberth (available only on the Cargo Ship for now).
- Improved wind model
- Various handling and stability refinements.
- Fixed timescale button
