Shipsim is the virtual bridge application in the Mistral 4000 simulation line, so it could be the right solution to integrate a compact own ship in a simulator complex, as well as the base for a navigation classroom.

The virtual bridge Shipsim is a cost-effective solution which uses the same simulation engine of more expensive FMB (Full Mission Bridge) optimized to be executed on a single PC. In this solution all the needed information – environmental and dynamics – to execute training session related to ship handling and ship manoeuvre are shown on two monitors which show to the operator:

– External view of about 50° of HFW with the capability to rotate the image on 360°, to change the point of view (central bridge and both the wings), to zoom (binocular and bearing functions), the conning information and the ship interactive controls

– Radar ARPA simulator, the cartography, DGPS, AIS panel and GMDSS on board station

The operator can switch between the different visualizations using an on-screen button.


The virtual bridge Shipsim, as all the Mistral 4000 components, grants several configuration possibilities thanks to its modularity and flexibility.

It is possible to configure the virtual bridge as standalone system linked to a projector or multimedia board so to be used for frontal lesson

Or in network system such as a navigation classroom or a secondary bridge


Shipsim support the integration with any kind of real cartographic software, type-appoved ECDIS and real Radar Displays

Several addictional modules (Hardware and Software) are available to further expand the realism as well as introduce new funtionalities:
> Manovering hands-on Consoles (basic, manSim Touch, mansim TouchADVanced)
> AIS Module
> ComSim GMDSS simulator
> DPSim Dynamic Positioning module
> FishSim Fishery Simulator Software module
> SAR module

ShipSim classroom

ShipSim is the ideal tool for basic students training, thanks to its flexibility and wide range of applications.
