On October 6, 2023, the construction company officially handed over the SOSc ‘building’ to MARIN. This unique research facility provides an important boost to MARIN's mission: clean, smart and safe shipping and sustainable use of the sea.
The Large Motion Simulator. A moving bridge on a hexapod with a payload of 14,000 kg is shown with a projection in a large spherical dome, which has a diameter of 16 m.
Four multipurpose simulators to simulate tugboats or crane installation vessels for example, including the instructor operation station to prepare, control and monitor simulations.
The motion envelope of the LMS.
Full Mission Bridge with easy, adaptable bridge configurations and instruments to experience the realism for all maritime and offshore ship types. Even the bridge of the future can be experienced and studied.

With this state-of-the-art and unique research facility MARIN aims to remain at the forefront of studying and providing comprehensive training courses for complex nautical and offshore operations. In this versatile research facility clients will be offered a possibility to test and preview how new ships, solutions and operations perform in practice. Ultimately, the aim is to make maritime operations safer, cleaner and more efficient through offering the most realistic simulations of behaviour of and interactions between ships/maritime constructions, the environment and humans.
Currently, we’re carrying out the final but crucial integration steps and tests in MARIN’s new and impressive simulator building. To give an idea of the impressive scale of the works in numbers, the SOSc comprises 200 high-end computer systems, 50 projectors, more than 100 monitors, 1 large 14-tonne hexapod and 1 small hexapod, nearly 30 bridge consoles, over 100 ship controls and navigational instruments, a cable robot, VR/AR equipment and kilometres of wiring! Soon the final tests will be completed, and we’ll conduct our first simulation projects in the SOSc.
The virtual test facility consists of a dome-shaped Large Motion Simulator, a full mission bridge (including two bridge wings), four multipurpose simulators, a laboratory for Traffic Management/Mission Control research and a Maritime Experience Lab where Virtual/Augmented Reality can be combined with motion and haptics. Furthermore, it includes human factor measurement and observation technology, which can be flexibly deployed for simulations of complex maritime operations.
Report
MARIN employees, partners and their subcontractors have been working hard on the realisation of the new, innovative research facility of MARIN - the Seven Oceans Simulator centre. On May 28, the final milestone will be reached with the official opening of the new centre.
