Describes the application of computer aided techniques to the maintenance of navigational simulators and highlights some key points and precautions.

Based on the requirements of the navigation safety assessment in the construction of the wharf,the feasibility and scientificalness of application of the navigational simulator in this kind of assessment.

According to the different platforms of visual system in ship handling simulator, the author proposes three methods of drawing ownship s bow image based on overlay, stencil buffer and Z buffer, and drawing bow image only once can be achieved.

Ship Handling Simulator has been applied into the fields of marine training, scientific research, engineering design, etc, and its function needs to be perfected.
