This paper presents an improved IP multicast method to realize the interaction of internet based multi-ship handling simulators. The result of the experiments shows that with the new method, the availability of network resources and compatibility of the systems are tremendously enhanced.}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Marine Navigation, Ship Handling Simulator, Internet, IP Multicast, Internet Based Integration, Data Exchange, Transmission Reliability, Manoeuvring} }
