Port Development & Manoeuvring Studies

Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy’s Marine Short Course & Simulator Department, utilising its in-house division specifically dedicated to the creation and modification of Visual & Hydrodynamic Area Databases and Vessel Models, as well as featuring the most extensive and modern suite of simulators in the region, can offer real-time simulation studies for planned port developments.

This can be for planned expansion/redevelopment of a port or for the capability of handling different vessels.

This expertise and capability means that the department can:

• Create a client’s port in accordance with planned development (either as a single development or as multiple options) with accurate hydrodynamics and photorealistic visuals
• Create hydrodynamically correct vessels in multiple loading conditions
• Run real-time simulations as either a single bridge or multiple bridges where tug and/or other vessel interaction is critical
• The provision of experienced pilots & tug masters to carry out the manoeuvres, where a client requires it
• Apply dynamic environmental variables to each scenario
• Provide detailed data of each run in the simulator

The extensive simulation suite at the Academy, with multiple 360° visual bridges available with enhanced (HD & UHD) visual representation of areas and models, while also equipped with real-world configurations of controls and equipment, serves to provide an extremely realistic environment for these studies.
