prototypes (4)
Vessel Constrained By Her Draft
Displays three red all-round lights in a vertical line, indicating her restricted maneuverability due to water depth.
Pilot Boat
A pilot vessel displays two all-round lights in a vertical line: white over red, signaling that it is engaged in pilot duty.
Vessels at Anchor
Exhibits one all-round white light at the bow and another at the stern if it is 50 meters or more in length. During the day, it hoists a black ball to indicate that it is at anchor.
Crossing Situation
The vessel that sees the other on its starboard side must give way. At night, the give-way vessel will see the red sidelight of the stand-on vessel, while the stand-on vessel will see the green sidelight of the give-way vessel.

Features
We're building AralMarino as an easy-to-access and interactive learning platform for seafarers. With your support, we can bring more technology into our content library. Here's what we're working on towards:
Enhanced Engagement
Our goal is to develop interactive 3D scenarios that capture users' attention and encourage interactive learning, making complex maritime concepts easier to grasp.
Portability
We are working on a platform that learners can access anytime, anywhere—allowing for flexible study schedules and accommodating different learning paces.
Cost-Effectiveness
By leveraging virtual 3D scenarios, we aim to help reduce reliance on expensive in-person training equipment while still providing effective learning experience.
Simplified Simulations
We plan to create virtual scenarios that allow users to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled, risk-free environment, bridging the gap between classroom and the real-world.
