MARSIM 2015
Our Aims and Objectives
The aim of the conference is to bring together industry wide expertise from all sectors related to the manoeuvring and simulation of ships and floating structures. The objective is to provide a platform for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and current practice while at the same time nurturing a network for collaboration and commerce.
The MARSIM conference series brings together subject experts and distinguished speakers to discuss and disseminate technical and topical issues, while exhibitors showcase the latest in maritime simulator technologies and training products.
