That developing the ship maneuvering simulator is thespecific applications of the navigation simulation technology.

Applying the ship maneuvering simulator to demonstrate the designs of harbor and fairway, have been several decades years in overseas country, have obtained enormous economical benefit and social benefit.

This paper at first introduces current study on the ship manoeuvring simulator, then analyzes the application prospect, the content and the purpose on the argumentation of designs of harbour and fairway, so that, it gives a design precept for this purpose.
