Physics simulation

  • Our own physics model is simulating
    • Cargo changes physics
    • Propeller wheel effect (ship rotation based on propeller rotation)
    • Bank effect (ship drift caused by hydrodynamic effect, when close to an object)
    • Damaged hull
    • Flooding
    • Anchor dragging
    • Sea current drift
    • Wind drift
    • Mooring and tow lines can break under too much tension

Missions

Fishing trawler at sea

Net fishing

Fishing trawler at sea
Go out and find a fishing spot. Once your fish sonar shows some fish, pull out the net and fill it up

Car ferry

Passenger ferry at sea
Several locations allow you to establish a ferry route on the map

Transport

Our main harbors have transport items available you can deliver to a bunch of different locations

Repair

Tug boat during a repair mission
The rough weather at the coast leads to regular defects on the buoys spread out over the map, support the authorities and replace the defective buoys

Tug boat

Big ships need regular support on leaving or entering the harbor. Go out with the tug boat and pull them into position

Rescue

Ship run aground in shallow water
Our coastal waters are sometimes a dangerous place. With our rescue fleet you can go for a patrol mission and help other vessels

Fire fight

Offshore vessel fighting a fire at sea
Our offshore vessel is equipped with powerful water cannons, ready to engage every fire out there!

Dry dock

Offshore vessel near Sassnitz
Some main harbors are equipped with a dry dock, where you can repair your damaged ship

Merchant operations
