A free, open-source digital chartplotter and navigational software. While it is not a full ship-handling simulator, it is excellent for learning chart work, route planning, and AIS tracking.
Since Wärtsilä acquired Transas, they have heavily invested in cloud-based simulation technologies. Many maritime academies and training centers now offer remote access to official NTPRO cloud simulators. Contact your institution or a certified training provider to ask about web-based simulation licenses for independent study. 2. OpenCPN (For Navigation and ECDIS Practice)
