Bridge of a ship

Navigating to excellence. Engineering innovation.

Welcome to CSMART

Behind every great cruise experience is a highly trained crew keeping ships sailing safely and smoothly.

The Center for Simulation & Maritime Training (CSMART) is the place where maritime professionals strengthen their skills, adapt to new technologies, and prepare for the demands of a modern fleet.

Since 2009, we’ve supported that mission through hands‑on, simulator‑based training built around real‑world operations.

Introducing the S-100 Initiative

As the maritime industry prepares for the next generation of digital navigation, CSMART has completed a series of bridge simulator tests evaluating S-100 navigational data in confined waters.

Conducted in collaboration with hydrographic offices and industry partners, the initiative was recognised by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) as an official test bed and sea trial.

S-100 is a new digital framework developed by the IHO to deliver richer, real-time maritime data, enabling more precise and efficient navigation in complex port environments.
