This paper presents a system dynamic approach for the creation of an extensive Maritime Business Game, which stems from a close cooperation between two universities, each with its own specialisation. In the first place, this model has been developed for educational purposes. As it is not easy to familiarise students with all the workings in the maritime world, this game is meant as a new instrument for education. Participants are confronted with several aspects of the maritime business such as strategy deployment, financial planning, interpreting market changes, etc. The first results were promising. Students were eager to understand the principles of the game in order to outperform their competitors in gaining both market share and profits. With the accumulating experience from education as well as continuous efforts to improve and update the model, a valuable tool for teaching and academic research will emerge in the future.
