Vessels Stability SIM is a simulator designed for training in the fundamentals of buoyancy, watertight integrity, and hull construction of a floating vessel. The module is used to visualize the impact of mass distribution, compartment flooding, and external factors on the stability and behavior of a ship in marine conditions.

Component elements:

• Ship hull model with realistic subdivision into watertight compartments.
• Training pool with a tethering system for model stabilization.
• Capability for simulated flooding of selected compartments.

Scope of training:

• Ship hull construction and design
• Concepts of buoyancy, displacement, center of gravity, and metacenter.
• Longitudinal and transverse stability of a vessel
• Principles of hull subdivision into watertight compartments.
• Analysis of emergency scenarios (flooding, listing, sinking)
• Vessel response to changing conditions (cargo shift, asymmetric flooding)

Didactic features:

• Simulation of model response depending on:
  • Flooding of individual compartments.
  • Shifting of mass within the vessel
  • Action of external forces (tethers, gravity).
• Possibility of creating emergency scenarios and their course.
• Presentation of effects in the form of realistic 3D animation.
• Possibility of conducting theoretical and practical classes combined with observation of a physical model.
