Activities

To provide the opportunity for researchers and experts who are involved directly or indirectly in marine simulator and simulation in order to exchange knowledge and experiences and discuss several relevant issues.

> Exchange of Information

Topics range from techniques of simulation using hardware and software, ewperimental methods in simulator software, simulator use and training, and research evaluation

> International Conference Meetings

Every year a meeting and workshop is held at a different simulator location throughout the world. conference themes deal with marine simulation and training on all levels. All ACMSSR members are invited and encouraged to participate. Every third year a major international MARSIM conference is organized with formal presentation of papers.

> Assistance

The ACMSSR serves as a network to anyone who seeks advice on use and manugacture of marine simulators.

> Promotion

The ACMSSR serves to promote, internationally, the use of shiphandling simulators for training and research, by encouraging high standards in design, sonstruction and operation.
