About this game

Maritime Sim is a realistic vessel traffic simulation focused on the management, monitoring and coordination of maritime traffic in busy waterways. Maritime Sim focuses, primarily within its first version of the game, on the River Thames in London and the Thames Barrier. This is a very busy stretch of the Thames with a varied amount of maritime traffic.

Take on the role of a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) operator, overseeing commercial shipping, passenger vessels and support craft as they navigate the complex tidal Thames river. Using real-world inspired procedures, traffic rules and navigation logic, you’ll assign routes, manage traffic flow, respond to developing situations and prevent incidents before they happen. Boats will come from either the ocean (North Sea/Dover Channel) or from Central London/the UK River network and how they transit through the Thames Barrier is up to you to decide!

Built with authenticity in mind, Maritime Sim emphasises situational awareness, decision-making and operational control rather than arcade handling. Every vessel movement matters and poor planning can quickly escalate into congestion, groundings or collisions.

Whether coordinating traffic through narrow channels, managing peak-hour congestion or responding to unexpected events, Maritime Sim delivers a grounded, systems-driven maritime experience designed for players who want realism, responsibility and control.
