Our well-tested and innovative approach to marine operations research, by integrating the human-machine interface through real-time “mariner in the loop” simulations using both ship and tug wheelhouse configurations, continues to yield highly regarded and truly realistic outcomes for sponsors.  This research work offers the capability to address a wide-range of design, operational and environmental issues in projects involving marine terminal infrastructure, ports and waterways, navigation safety and advanced ship and tug maneuvering operations.
