A ship simulator is a method that mimics ships and maritime settings for use in teaching, research, and other applications. These simulators are a combination of software and hardware solutions. They provide the user with a simulated environment in which they test systems or receive professional training. Ship simulators can be classified into two major classifications such as real-time simulators, which have human controllers, and fast time simulators, in which the human is replaced by a computer-based pilot model. These are used by both commercial ships and naval ships.
