The ARI Tug Handling Simulator is a specialised training tool designed to bring precision and safety to one of the most challenging roles in maritime operations. By providing an authentic recreation of a modern tug's manoeuvring station and navigation bridge, the simulator allows both novice and experienced operators to hone their skills without risking expensive assets. A core strength of the platform is its sophisticated behavioural model, which ensures that the physics of tug movements - including the complex dynamics of ASD tugs - are replicated with extreme accuracy. This allows operators to experience how different environmental variables, such as wind and current, affect the vessel's responsiveness during critical manoeuvres.
