It is a developing direction of VTS simulator to offering a more real-like simulative training as in actual practices. This paper proposed an approach to integrate VTS simulator with Internet system of multiple ship-handling simulators. Utilizing Agent/MAS technology, VTS simulators will play the role of VTS in participating in the interactive simulated training based on Internet. It facilitates a real environment in the VTS training and thus entails better effects.}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Ship Handling Simulator, Internet, Vessel Traffic Service (VTS), VTS Simulator, Multi-Agent System (MAS), Data Interface Module, VTS Agent, VTS Ontology} }
