Abstract
The innovative “Simulation-Augmented Manoeuvring Design, Monitoring & Control” system (SAMMON) based on Fast Time Simulation (FTS) technology was developed at the Institute for Innovative Ship Simulation and Maritime Systems (ISSIMS) of the Maritime Simulation Centre Warnemuende MSCW. The system consists of software modules for (a) Manoeuvring Design & Planning, (b) Monitoring & Control based on Multiple Dynamic Prediction and (c) Trial & Training. It is based on complex ship dynamic models for rudder, thruster or engine manoeuvre simulation under different environmental conditions. It is an effective tool for lecturing and demonstrating ship's motion characteristics, as well as for ship handling simulator training. It allows the trainee to immediately see the results of the actual rudder, engine or thruster commands, without having to wait for the real-time response of the vessel. The Maritime Simulation Centre of AIDA Cruises at Rostock/Germany and the CSMART Center for Simulator Maritime Training of Carnival Corporation at Almere/NL have some experience with the use of this new technology to improve simulator training in Advanced Ship Handling Training courses. Examples of its application in briefing/debriefing and introductory lectures for simulator exercises specifically for typical cruise ships with Twin-Screw and Rudder systems will be presented in the paper and at the conference.

New demands originating from IMO's e-navigation strategy to enhance safe, efficient and environmentally friendly navigation from berth to berth require the preparation of harbour approaches with complete berthing plans, especially by companies with high safety standards like cruise liners
Summary
Ship manoeuvring is and will remain a human-centred process in spite of anticipated further technological development. They have been further developed by start-up company Innovative Ship Simulation and Maritime Systems (available at: ISSIMS GmbH Web page) These modules are suitable for application both: in maritime education and training to support ship manoeuvring exercises by demonstrating and facilitating the explanation of manoeuvring technology details and, to prepare manoeuvring training in the SHS environment, i.e. by developing manoeuvring plans in briefing sessions, supporting manoeuvring during the exercise run and assisting with replay analysis and in discussions on quick demonstration of alternative manoeuvres during debriefing sessions; and onboard to facilitate the manoeuvring of real ships, e.g. by compiling manoeuvring plans for challenging harbour approaches requiring complex berthing / unberthing manoeuvres, assisting steering by providing multiple predictions during the manoeuvring process and even by supporting result analysis, as well as for onboard training with the Simulation & Trial module. This paper focuses on the potential of the SAMMON software to support the lecturing and briefing / debriefing process with elements designed for simulator training in the framework of Advanced Ship Handling in Maritime Simulation & Training Centre MSTC of the AIDA Cruises Company at Rostock / Germany
