Naval forces have always been a crucial part of every nation’s military, and these forces are positioned at the sea boundaries, where they face challenging situations due to the highly unpredictable sea currents. As a result, the need for training of naval forces to overcome these situations and ensure the safety of the ships and personnel has increased significantly.  Hence, the governments of countries like India, China, the UK, etc., have been increasingly adopting and deploying ship simulators to ease the training of the naval forces in their country, thus driving the Global Ship Simulator Market. For instance,

  • In 2022, the government of India upgraded the ship handling simulator to augment the practical training of the crews of ships & submarines of Western Naval Command.

This increasing deployment of ship simulators at the naval bases for training naval personnel has been driving the Global Ship Simulator Market.

Moreover, ships nowadays are integrated with advanced communication systems, sensors, etc., which is making the complete operation more complex. Therefore, the crews, maintainers & ship operators' training using the latest simulator solutions is becoming essential to keep the personnel at par with the latest emerging technologies. This increasing demand for upgraded training to minimize the risk of offshore accidents is leading to the launch of new training facilities globally. For instance,

  • In 2023, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), an integrated maritime solutions provider, opened a training center in Cyprus to train the crew & maintainers of the ship.
