About

Ships At Sea, the next generation of ship simulation, introduces service and cargo vessels for the first time, the most desired feature requested by our passionate fan base. Head with your friends into the untamable Norwegian Sea and connect with players worldwide as you build your service, cargo and commercial fishing careers.

In addition to the highly detailed fishing, service and cargo ships with new gameplay features, we will present a new water shader WaveWorks in cooperation with NVIDIA to provide a cinematic-quality ocean simulation, a completely overhauled buoyancy system allowing vessels of all sizes to float realistically, a dynamic weather system that enhances the overall immersion by simulating weather conditions such as rain, fog, lightning and storms.

Furthermore, Ships At Sea takes the most significant step forward, allowing you to set foot on the authentically recreated harbours in Lofoten, Norway. Visit the shop to purchase your tools or equipment, upgrade your vessels, stock up on essential supplies for you and your crew, or enter the hangar to repair and maintain your ship.

Like our previous games, Ships At Sea, lets you experience the atmosphere and realistic environment based on accurate maps, licensed ships and equipment. With stunning graphics, Ships At Sea delivers striking, immersive visuals to provide the most profound ship simulation experience. Join the adventure and become a master of the seas!
