Abstract: The constitution of the training system for ship handling was introduced．In this system‚mult- ichannel video signals were put together to generate a360°scene．The methods of static sea wave mode-ing and dynamic sea wave modeling in the scene were also proposed．Furthermore‚a ship handling imulator was designed by using the computer network and communication technologies‚such as parallel processing based on a local computer network‚increment sending‚fixed-length message package and event drive receiving．This simulator is of high performance to cost ratio．Simulation results under various conditions such as sailing in the daytime or at night as well as in frogs and stormy waves were also presented．

Key words: ship handling, virtual reality, view, network communication, simulator
