Ship Network Simulator (ShipNetSim)

ShipNetSim is a comprehensive open-source simulation platform for analyzing ship energy consumption and emissions in large-scale maritime networks. Built with a modular architecture using Qt6, it combines advanced hydrodynamic modeling, dynamic ship-following techniques, and real-time environmental data integration.

Key Features:

• Holtrop resistance and B-Series propeller analysis
• Dynamic ship-following model based on traffic flow theory
• Real-time environmental data integration
• Cybersecurity threat simulation (GPS spoofing)
• Energy consumption and CO2 emission quantification
• Multi-ship network simulation capabilities

Published research demonstrates ShipNetSim’s accuracy in predicting fuel consumption within 13.1% of operational estimates, making it a valuable tool for maritime decarbonization research and policy analysis. View on Github
