Our maritime simulator capabilities

Watermark delivers a full range of maritime services focused on simulator training, operational improvement, and performance enhancement. Using advanced, scenario-driven simulations, we strengthen decision-making, boost crew readiness, and raise standards across your fleet. Our services include:

Simulator Training
Immersive, scenario-based training using our advanced simulator to replicate real conditions—enhancing decision-making, teamwork, emergency response, and overall crew competence in a safe, controlled environment.

Operational Support

Practical support to strengthen daily vessel operations—reviewing procedures, refining onboard practices, and helping crews improve efficiency while maintaining high standards across the fleet.

Performance Improvement

Data-driven insights and expert guidance to identify risks, close gaps, and improve performance—enhancing safety, compliance, and operational effectiveness through practical, targeted solutions.

Our Programmes

We deliver simulator programmes in bridge and engine resource management, ship handling, and tug operations—from foundation to advanced. Fully tailored to your vessels, teams, and priorities, programmes can run from a day to a week.

Whether developing junior officers, challenging experienced masters, or training full crews, we’ll build a solution that fits. Get in touch at team@watermark.cc

Navigational & Operational Assessments

We focus on services that deliver immediate value with minimal operational impact. Our current bridge-related consultancy includes:

Location

Based in Portsmouth—one of the UK’s busiest maritime hubs, close to Southampton with excellent transport links—ensuring easy access without complex logistics. A true working maritime city, it provides an authentic, industry-relevant training environment.

 

The Importance of Simulation

The best time to practise complex manoeuvres, manage failures, and test communication is before it matters. Simulation provides a safe, controlled environment to learn from high-stakes scenarios, building skills that transfer directly to real-world operations with greater confidence.

 

High-Fidelity Technology

Our facility features Wärtsilä full-mission simulators, including two full bridge simulators, a 360° tug simulator, and a full engine control room—replicating a wide range of vessels and scenarios. This realism enhances learning, making decisions and outcomes more impactful.

 

 

What our Simulator Offers

We offer simulator programmes across bridge resource management, engine resource management, ship handling, and tug handling, at every level from foundational to advanced. Programmes can be tailored to your vessel type, your team, and your operational priorities, and can run anywhere from a single day to a full week.

Whether you want to develop a junior officer, challenge an experienced master, or put an entire crew through their paces together, we can build something that works. Get in touch at team@watermark.cc and we will take it from there.
