Inland cargo vessels such as Deo Favente are specifically designed for navigation on rivers, canals and restricted inland waterways. Their shallow draught and elongated hull form require precise handling, especially in confined channels, locks and busy river traffic environments.
Within the NAUTIS Simulator, Deo Favente is used to train crews in realistic inland navigation scenarios, including current compensation, bridge passage, lock entry, narrow channel maneuvering and port approaches with limited under-keel clearance. Environmental factors such as wind, current and traffic density can be adjusted to reflect real-world inland operating conditions.
By accurately modelling vessel behaviour in shallow water and restricted environments, NAUTIS enables maritime training institutes to prepare inland shipping professionals for safe and efficient operations on Europe’s rivers and waterways.
