Water traffic is a nonlinear complex system, which is difficult to be described by a mathematical model. Naturally, simulation has become an important method to study it. In the simulation system, how to establish a ship simulation model is very crucial. In this paper, according to characteristics of ship’s behaviour, the Ship Agent model for simulation in the inland waterway is constructed, and the Multi-Agent simulation system is composed of these Ship Agents. As a case, the simulation system is set up based on the Monte Carlo method. The conclusion can be drawn that this Multi-Agent system can imitate the ship’s behaviour, and achieve the basic operation, such as the ship’s free navigation, overtaking, turning, collision avoidance and so on.
