Abstract :
Simulation is the best tool used for any nontrivial, real world system and many simulation tools are today available for supporting complex system modeling. In general any simulation language or tool is suitable for any application however some approaches could provide easier and better results than others. This paper provides some practical suggestion specifically for maritime operations.
