Software Focus: Ship Simulator 2006

Ship Simulator 2006 has nine different playable ship types.

You can steer them in three different environments: Rotterdam Harbor, Hamburg Harbor, or the tropical paradise islands of Phi Phi, Thailand.

The game contains 31 predefined missions, in which you need to navigate to waypoints or rescue swimmers.

Moreover, the game has a built-in scenario editor, which you can use to create new scenarios yourself. You can exchange these with other players on the Ship Simulator Internet forum.
