01 / NavMar · Tanker & bridge

Prototype · in development

A bridge built
around the vessel.

A tanker exterior and wheelhouse reconstructed from drawings and equipment photographs. Explore the bridge, follow the instruments and see the vessel respond through recorded manoeuvres.

  • A vessel-specific 3D exterior and bridge
  • Port and starboard turning-circle replays
  • Crash-stop and acceleration studies

Where it is headingA full-mission bridge simulator for training on a crew’s own ship.

Current demonstration: manoeuvre playback. Live bridge control and sea-trial calibration remain development work.

02 / NavMar · Sailing

Simulation prototype

The same idea.
At yacht scale.

A sailing-boat simulator in development around an Elan 333: boat handling, sailing performance and the final approach to a berth.

The Rovinj demonstration follows a scripted skipper through wind, prop walk and an estimated manoeuvring model.

Work-in-progress rendering and physics. Calibration against sailing logs and boat trials is still to come.

The boat behind the simulation.

An editable exterior study refined against photographs and published dimensions. The cockpit, rig and fittings belong here, within the sailing simulator project.

Photo-guided geometry; unseen shapes and fitting positions are estimated. This is not a surveyed reconstruction.

Behind the projects

Engineering tools & data.

Ship drawings, operating procedures and calibration guide the work. These tools support the models, visualisation and research.

Used in the illustrated models

Copernicus Marine ↗

Ocean data

Wave and current data for WindMar’s routing tools, alongside other weather sources.

Environmental data source

Capytaine ↗

Wave-response research

Frequency-domain hydrodynamic studies of floating vessels and their response to waves.

Research · integration pending

OpenFOAM ↗

Computational fluid dynamics

Exploratory CFD cases for investigating flow around hulls.

Experimental · validation pending

The tanker bridge demonstration uses recorded manoeuvres. Capytaine and OpenFOAM studies are separate from its current motion model.

The direction of the work

Your vessel. Your equipment.
Your training.

Building towards exercises grounded in a ship’s drawings, manuals and operating procedures.
