Request a Maritime Simulation Project Consultation

 

Planning a maritime simulation training or operational research project? Complete the information below to help our MITAGS simulation specialists understand your objectives, operational requirements, and project scope. Whether you’re evaluating vessel operations, offshore wind projects, port modifications, navigational safety concerns, or custom simulation scenarios, our team will work with you to develop a tailored solution.

Maritime Simulation Services We Support

MITAGS supports a wide range of maritime simulation and operational research initiatives, including:

  • Simulation Research: Channel studies, vessel maneuvering assessments, navigational safety analysis, and operational testing.
  • Custom Maritime Training: Bridge resource management scenarios, vessel handling exercises, and specialized simulation programs.
  • Offshore Wind Operations: Support vessel operations, transit analysis, environmental assessments, and project planning.
  • Port & Navigation Studies: Docking evaluations, traffic analysis, port expansion projects, and waterway assessments.

How the Process Works

Step 1: Submit Your Project Information

Provide initial project details and objectives.

Step 2: Project Review

Our simulation specialists evaluate requirements and identify project needs.

Step 3: Discovery Discussion

We schedule a consultation to discuss scope, operational goals, and simulation requirements.

Step 4: Receive a Custom Proposal

Receive a customized project scope and quotation tailored to your objectives.

Most projects begin with a collaborative discussion and evolve as operational requirements become more clearly defined.

Project Information Needed

Use the sections below to prepare the key details needed for your custom maritime simulation or operational research request.

1. Project Summary

Provide a brief overview of your maritime simulation project, including project goals, participating organizations, geographic location, and operational considerations.

Helpful details: Project summary, key stakeholders, geographic location, vessel type, operational concerns, safety objectives, and regulatory considerations.

2. Timeline

Please provide expected project timelines, deadlines, target dates, or operational milestones. If project timing is flexible, provide estimated planning windows.

3. Purpose & Objectives

Describe the purpose of your project and what you hope to accomplish.

Examples: Navigational safety assessments, vessel maneuverability studies, port expansion analysis, offshore wind operations, crew training, emergency response testing, regulatory support, and operational research.

4. Simulated Geographic Area

Please provide the location where simulation activities will occur, such as ports, harbors, rivers, offshore locations, inland waterways, or shipping channels.

Include charts, coordinates, GIS data, or existing operational information if available.

5. Vessel & Tug Information

Please provide vessel and tug details needed to support simulation development.

Examples: Vessel dimensions, draft information, tug configurations, vessel type, maneuvering characteristics, and existing vessel specifications.

MITAGS maintains an extensive library of vessel models and can also create custom models as needed.

6. Maritime Pilot / Tug Support

If applicable, provide details regarding pilot participation, tug support requirements, or operational expertise needed for the project.

Include: Pilot organizations, tug providers, subject matter experts, and operational personnel.

7. Stakeholders

List organizations, agencies, operators, engineering firms, or project partners involved in this initiative. Stakeholder participation often helps shape simulation goals and project outcomes.

8. Marketing Video Requirements

Would you like simulation recordings or project footage for presentations, stakeholder communications, educational materials, or promotional use?

MITAGS can discuss available video and visualization options.
