Abstract: When ship handling is simulated on a manoeuvring simulator either for training or for research projects, where the human being, handling the ship, is involved, a careful analysis has to be made of the nautical aspects of handling a ship in a simulator. Discussions between designers,users and people with practical knowledge of situations and manoeuvres to be simulated, are essential to ascertain an optimum use of the simulator facilities.
