FAQ

Fishing vessels classified as small vessels are not required to have AIS installed. Therefore, vessels without AIS cannot be analyzed. For such vessels, our maritime experts conduct visual observations.

Yes. Cargo requires facility development, storage areas, and transportation routes according to its packaging, handling method, and transportation frequency. We formulate land use plans after thoroughly investigating actual conditions and the surrounding environment.

Yes. At Japan Marine Science, we assess the validity of port facility development projects in terms of cost-effectiveness. Cost-effectiveness is analyzed and evaluated by comparing the investment amount with the benefits (social benefits) obtained from the investment.

Yes. Due to long-term crew shortages, many vessels face issues such as working conditions and small crew shifts. We conduct surveys to solve these labor-related issues, safety surveys due to crew shortages, management improvement, and compliance with environmental regulations.

Marine traffic simulation has been used in the following cases:
1.Verifying the streamlining effect of installing virtual buoys at the entrance of Tokyo Bay
2.Verifying the safety improvement effect of imposing speed and overtaking restrictions in the Singapore Strait

All six degrees of freedom of ship motion are reproduced: roll, pitch, heave, sway, surge, and yaw.

Mooring motion simulation has been used in the following cases:
・Verifying mooring safety for larger LNG vessels at dedicated hazardous material piers
・Evaluating mooring limits during tsunami events caused by major earthquakes
・Assessing mooring safety for large tankers moored to buoys
・Evaluating mooring reinforcement during improvements to mooring bollards and fenders

For non-VR types, you can connect various marine equipment from different manufacturers, virtual binoculars (equipped with a 3-axis motion sensor), and multifunction displays that simulates navigation instruments in software method.

Over 100 diverse types of target ships can be generated and freely controlled via operator or external operation.

Yes. An automated grading system enables objective evaluation.

Yes. Any type can be operated from one person.

Yes. Proposals tailored to the budget and installation conditions can be provided.

Yes. After the training, instructors provide feedback while reviewing the results, and a report is compiled.
