Seven oceans simulator centre
Het Seven Oceans Simulator Centre (SOSc) is de link tussen ontwerp en operatie en zorgt voor een zogenoemde 'crew-centred ship design and operation.' Met deze digitale werkruimte kunnen ingenieurs en scheepsbemanningen gebruik maken van geavanceerde simulatoren en digital twins om zo schepen onder realistische omstandigheden te testen en verfijnen voordat ze worden gebouwd. Het SOSc kan ook ingezet worden bij mission rehearsals, het trainen van complexe operaties en het ontwerpen van ingewikkelde infrastructuren.
Voor een nauwkeurige voorspelling van het hydrodynamisch gedrag is de koppeling met MARIN's testfaciliteiten, voorspellingsmethoden (zoals Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) en metingen op ware grootte essentieel. Het universele platform van MARIN, XMF (eXtensible Modeling Framework), integreert specialistische modellen voor ontwerpevaluaties en simulatiestudies en biedt een solide hydrodynamische basis voor onze simulatoren.
We bouwen ook simulatoren en ontwikkelen simulatorsoftware voor onze klanten, zodat zij op eigen locatie bemanningen kunnen traininen en operaties kunnen oefenen .
complexe maritieme operaties in een veilige omgeving
Ons doel is om de maritieme veiligheid en efficiëntie te verbeteren door interacties tussen structuren, de omgeving en mensen realistisch te simuleren, ook bij complexere operaties. Containerschepen worden groter, het scheepvaartverkeer en het aantal nieuwe infrastructuren op zee nemen toe, en weerspatronen worden onvoorspelbaarder. De bolvormige simulatoren en bewegende brug van het SOSc kunnen bemanningen onder realistische omstandigheden trainen, wat zorgt voor betere voorbereiding en onderzoeksresultaten.De faciliteit ondersteunt ook innovaties op het gebied van mens-machine-interactie, waaronder virtual reality, operationele hulpmiddelen en het testen en monitoren van autonome schepen.

Large Motion Simulator
Large Motion Simulator (LMS): a six degrees of freedom motion-based bridge of 4,5 x 5,5 m on a hexapod with a payload of 14,000 kg and 360 degrees projection in a large spherical dome with a diameter of 16 m.

Maritime eXperience Lab
The Maritime eXperience Lab (MX Lab) for advanced virtual, augmented and mixed reality applications, including the Fast Small Ship Simulator (FSSS), smaller motion platforms, treadmills, motion capturing and a cable robot. With the 8 cables of the cable robot moving objects (such as a crane hook) can be simulated above a moving platform or the FSSS for advanced interactive Mixed Reality simulations, both above and below water.

Fast Small Ship Simulator
The Fast Small Ship Simulator is part of the Maritime eXperiance lab (MXLab) and provides a safe and accurate environment for training drivers and navigators of high-speed craft (HSC) both for naval and civil operations. On request, the FSSS can be modified to perform simulations on any high-speed vessel or operation.

Human Factor
With the rise of new technologies in maritime operations and the growing trend towards technological innovations, a better understanding of the human element is increasingly crucial. Within the Human Factor Team we try to understand the environment where the operators work in, so we can provide tailormade solutions for existing and future challenges.
