Today in Rotterdam we joined the “Later als ik groot ben” event. Children stepped into NAUTIS Home with curiosity and excitement, asking questions and exploring with imagination. Their spark led the way. We were simply there to support and to show a glimpse of what is possible.

Behind every simulator are our technicians, Ton Poel & Wouter Swennenhuis. From assembly to forklifts, they bring skill, pride, and precision to every simulator they build here in Rotterdam. Today we celebrate the team that keeps VSTEP moving forward. #TeamVSTEP #BehindTheScenes

⚓ Update 0.7.0.0 didn’t just bring mooring, it also improved charts in NAUTIS Home. Head up mode, tooltips for depth, position, UKC, and more. Small changes, big impact.

Have you tried them yet?
