The Maritime Simulation Centre is the only one worldwide offering the possibility of combining the simulation of nautical and technical ship operation with the shore-based support of the VTS system.

It is used for the practical training of students, which in future as ship officers at board of ships will work.

A other important aspect of the MSCW is the further education of ship officers so that these can accomplish their difficult tasks on a high level on board of ships.

The MSCW offers an outstanding basis for the research and development in the field of the maritime economy.
