Abstract: Maritime simulation plays an essential role in security of ship navigation, the innovation of the administration and the improvement of management ability. The traditional maritime simulation was surveyed, and the scope of maritime simulation was specified. Moreover, the research related to maritime simulation was overviewed under the proposed scope of maritime simulation. To gain a deeper insight into the research domain, maritime simulation was scrutinized in two dimensions. From the perspective of the simulation scale, modeling characters, and user requirements, maritime simulation was divided into macro, medium and micro scales; whereas in the viewpoint of comprehensive safety administration, another maritime simulation was defined. In addition to the introduction of an emergency response decision support simulation system, ten key technologies for simulation system were discussed. The development trend and future research of maritime simulation were summarized and proposed.

Key words: maritime simulation, administration mode, emergency response and decision-making, multi person coordination, key technology
