Using shiphandling simulators (full-mission or PC-based) is now a standard for training, We know how to take advantage of them and how to prepare good exercise as close to real situations at sea as possible, and training goals. Now the shiphandling instructors more and more often discuss the problem of objective, multicriteria, and automatic shiphandling skills assessment (and/or examination) also through the use of shiphandling simulators. There are still no accepted criteria and methods in this respect, though the shiphandling simulator training itself has been intensively practised for a few decades over the world. The present paper contains discussion on such possibilities with regard to shiphandling skills assessment. The basic of discussion is research of ship's starboard side approaching to the pier for berthig assessment.
