Who We Are

Engineers who build what crews train on.

Navysim is a specialized maritime solutions and services provider based in Varna, Bulgaria. We design and manufacture simulator hardware — from a single control box to a complete full-mission bridge — and develop the NaviSim simulator line that runs on it.

Our mission: to bring inspiration and innovation to all our valuable customers and partners.

The NaviSim Platform

What every NaviSim simulator shares.

Built on Unreal Engine 5 with physics models that are tested against published reference data.

01

Photoreal Visuals

Unreal Engine 5 scenes of real ports, terminals and airfields, with weather, night and sea state.

02

Validated Physics

Each model ships with a validation dossier comparing its behaviour with sourced reference data.

03

Instructor Station

Build scenarios, inject faults and weather live, and replay every session for debriefing.

04

Automatic Assessment

Every exercise is scored task by task, with a timeline of what the trainee actually did.

05

Scalable Hardware

The same software runs on a laptop, a classroom of desktops or a full-mission installation.

06

Local Support

Designed and supported from Varna, Bulgaria — installation, training of instructors and updates.

A crew that has already made the mistake on a simulator won't make it again at sea.
