Aboa Mare’s simulator environment offers a highly cost-effective solution in the planning and construction of fairways and ports. With our simulator interface, we can test the fairway and port area before it is constructed. Project expenses decrease when decisions are made in the right order and optimised from the beginning. In addition, the tests enhance safety in fairways and ports.
We construct fairways and ports in accordance with given specifications. The mathematical ship models, identical to real ships, are also constructed in-house. By testing the fairway with an accurate ship model, the port infrastructure can be optimised for logistical efficiency and fuel reduction. Risk assessments made by simulation can decrease groundings and collisions considerably. The simulator tests will provide you with a report that includes all measurable factors and results. Aboa Mare’s highly developed simulators are used for different R&D projects within the maritime industry.
We can research, test and construct the following areas in the simulator:
- Manoeuvring in different weather conditions and water depths, hydrodynamic factors taken into account (squat and bank effect)
- Manoeuvring with different mathematical ship models (e.g. how the size of the vessel affects the manoeuvrability)
- The effects of port infrastructure on manoeuvrability (e.g. how large buildings on the port area affects wind and turbulency)
- Evaluation of breakwater size and positioning
- Positioning of navigational aids
- Risk analysis and management
