Our drivers
What pushes us forward
A team of experienced and highly qualified software developers, project managers, designers, testers, support staff, engineers, industry experts and master mariners allow us to accurately create a simulator solution tailored to client-specific training requirements. With nearly 20 years of experience as a simulator developer, VSTEP understands its customers’ needs and the way to realise them. We work hard to offer everyone at VSTEP a comfortable environment in which diversity is cherished.
Our master mariners are experts coming from a career in seafaring with command experience on a wide range of vessels in all waters. Hydrodynamics engineers perform hydrodynamic analysis, tests and engineering activities for the vessels in our NAUTIS simulators. For Response Simulator, we partner with professional emergency services and leading industry clients to create a true-to-life experience that realistically simulates the entire decision making process for first responders during incidents.
How we grow
What makes us unique
Established in 2002, VSTEP, a family-owned software development company was founded to enable learning by our simulation technology. This was done to ensure that marine and safety professionals are trained in a highly realistic environment, without the risk, cost, and time associated with traditional training.
In the past 2 decades, VSTEP has been one of the main players in the market that challenged the maritime and safety training industries and has been able to bring about a paradigm shift in the training landscape by introducing state-of-the-art technology.
VSTEP will continue developing specialized training solutions for future seafarers, firefighters, and other safety professionals. This will prepare the professionals to face not only regular but also emergency situations at work, thereby making the world safer and more sustainable.
OUR VISION
We, at VSTEP, are determined to make the world safer and more sustainable by developing innovative maritime and safety training simulation solutions. Hence, we want to continue to be a leading global provider of cutting-edge training simulation technology that enhances our customers’ overall training effectiveness.
Our vision is to ensure that at least one third of the maritime industry has obtained their skills through our simulation technology. For that, we invest in continuous research and development of our software and other value-added innovations to ensure that our customers can offer the most effective maritime training.
OUR MISSION
At VSTEP, we strive to provide our customers with tools that enable them to teach their trainees in the best possible ways the skills to safely navigate a vessel, to safely and effectively respond to an emergency situation and to enable our customers to provide such training sustainably. Our mission is to build the most advanced and highly interactive, immersive, innovative and user-focused simulation solutions. We aim to do this by:
- Continuous research & development
- Exceeding requirements of different regulatory bodies
- Offering the highest ethical standards
In order to build great products, we have set five leading principles to guide our design and development decisions:
- Collaboration – We achieve more together. We work as a team to achieve our goals and create cutting-edge solutions for our customers. We believe we make each other better.
- Quality – We strive to develop and deliver top-notch solutions. We always aim for the best. No shortcuts. Reliable under all conditions.
- Dedication – We are dedicated to achieving personal and company success. We believe they always go hand in hand. We know what we want and how to get there. With focus and dedication we will.

- Innovation – We think in solutions and are open to any challenge. Bring it on! We can be flexible and we will try to be innovative and creative in achieving cutting-edge solutions.
Using these principles, we set out to develop and optimise our product towards every individual client. We measure our success by the long term satisfaction of our clients, and our own ability to understand our client’s needs.
