A voyage of discovery by sea and by road
Navigating the unknown
Navigating the unknown: Navigation is about more than just technology. It’s about making choices. Dealing with the unexpected. And learning to chart your own course. That’s why we at Simacan are supporting Julie. She’s 16 and will soon board the tall ship Wylde Swan to sail across the Caribbean with Masterskip. No Wi-Fi, just a map, a compass and a healthy dose of courage.
Just like on her journey, at Simacan it’s about looking ahead, adjusting when needed, and trusting the information you have. Even when things don’t go as planned. We’re bringing worlds together: transport planning from behind the desk, and the reality for drivers on the road; smart technology and a new generation working together to shape the future of logistics.
Because whether you’re sailing the open sea or navigating a transport network, it all comes down to knowing where you are, what’s happening, and where you need to go, just like Simacan Drive helps you do.

Julie introduces herself
"I think it would be so cool to learn how to navigate using just a map, a divider and a compass. Figuring out where you are without the internet."

Navigating the Caribbean:
the origin of Simacan
Around 3,600 years ago, the Simacan, a spiritual guide and navigator, lived in the Caribbean. He found his way using stars, tides and wind.
Today, we do the same. Only now, we navigate with data.
