APMSN-EMSN Connect

Sustainable Collaboration

The Asia-Pacific Maritime Simulator Network is the further development of the European Maritime Simulator Network. The European Network was developed earlier in the EU-funded research projects MONALISA 2.0 and STM Validation, connecting ship handling simulators from different manufacturers at different European locations for the first time. So far, EMSN served as a validation tool for future maritime services and sea traffic management concepts. Thereby EMSN’s benefits have been acknowledged by international organizations like IALA, BIMCO and the Nautical Institute, which stated during a joint conference, that it has been proven useful in identifying unforeseen consequences of new technologies.
